Dear Nino and colleagues,

hope you are all doing fine! Just to follow up our last week email exchange - have you been able to discuss the data query issues? Should we find time for a quick call to discuss options how to move forward?

With best,

Triin

Dear Nino -

We haven't received data by so far. 

We discussed with Kristiina that if that query design is too complex and needs more time then we could consider separating it into two  pieces -> first one which is a minimum dataset for DRG grouping (1st priority) and second one cost and other information (this is most probably that tricky part of the query, at least we think so). Using claim's ID it is possible to merge these two different data fIles later one but we could make a progress with validating coding quality and DRG grouping. Let's catch up next week!

Have a good weekend!

Hi Triin,

Thanks for your email and reminder. Just to clarify, have you received data that was supposed to be send by August 31st? 

Initial deadline August 20th for data requested was too optimistic given vacation times and amount of work related with data extraction. Let's plan to catch up next week - I will also ask Zaza.

Thanks!

Dear Nino and colleagues,

Hope you are all doing fine! Have you had a possibility to discuss the data query related issues and to check initial due date was too optimistic and we have to reconsider our initial action plan? 

Just let us know if you have any questions you would like to discuss or if it would be helpful to have a quick call etc.

With all the best,

Triin

Triin, thank you for a response and update. I very much hope that data extraction and requested data set will be available for your review next week.

I am asking Maia to check the progress on data extraction early next week and inform the group if there any challenges in this regard. 

Happy weekend everyone!

Nino

Dear Nino and all others,

Formation of the working group is very much welcomed and definitely helps to better coordinate activities between ourselves to be timely in agreed activities and to discuss any obstacles that put timeliness into threat. Thank you for doing that!

Just a quick update of the recent developments. We got feedback from Maia that data preparation takes a bit more time than initially expected and hopefully data becomes available by next Thursday. At this stage we don't need to revise due dates of next activities but we can come back to that if data extraction is more challenging than was assumed. This can be a case as most probably this data query format is new for you and may need some more efforts. And if there are any questions related to data then don't hesitate to contact to Kristiina and me.

We could agree also the teleconference time after we have got a data and have had a first look on that. 

Let's be in touch!

Best

Dear Triin and Kristin,

 

Hope this e-mail finds you very well. Let me thank you both for a very productive mission, practical work/recommendations provided, next steps identified to start and advance DRG-related work. We are very much looking forward to working with you and make the best use of resources allocated through the UHC-Partnership program.

 

We have created DRG working group (in the cc) so that communication and exchange of information on DRG related work will be within this group. This will also help to track progress of on-going work. I am also enclosing in this e-mail translated in Georgian next steps/timelines to remind the group deliverables and deadlines.

 

Thanks again and look forward to hearing the work progress soon.

 

მოგესალმებით DRG-ის სამუშაო ჯგუფის წევრებს,

 

გთხოვთ ძირითადი კომუნიკაცია DRG-ისთან დაკავშირებით აწარმოოთ სამუშაო ჯგუფის ყველა წევრის ჩართულობის უზრუნველყოფით.

ასევე, მინდა შეგახსენოთ DRG -ის პროცესთან დაკავშირებული შემდეგი ნაბიჯები და დედლაინები რომელზეც შევთანხმდით კონსულტანტების ვიზიტის დროს (იხილეთ ბმულში). გთხოვთ, უზრუნველყოთ დედლაინების დაცვა.

 

გმადლობთ,

 

ნინო
