This study demonstrates the feasibility of determining total nursing costs by DRGs and reinforces the findings of previous studies using the patient classification system methodology. Study implications regarding population trends, inequities of nursing resource use by DRGs, and outliers are discussed also. A final note warns of the potential liability of isolating nursing costs.
