Exploration of clinical pathway practice for optimization of DRG costing results based on resource consumption
The double helix model effectively aligns cost accounting with clinical pathways, reducing expenses while maintaining health quality. While effective, its adoption requires alignment with institutional capabilities and regional resource realities. It requires advanced health information technology (HIT), and is less effective for homogeneous treatments.
