Batch Grouping

SwissDRG AG provides the “Batchgrouper” as a Java class. It allows to group a batch of patient cases stored in a file. It writes then the grouping results into another file.

Batch Grouping SwissDRG patient data (“Akutsomatik”)

Assuming the jar file containing the JavaGrouper is named java-grouper-1.10.0-all.jar and you want to group SwissDRG patient cases with SwissDRG V6.0, billing version, on the command line type:

 java -jar path/to/java-grouper-1.1.0-all.jar \
      -cat path/to/catalog-acute.csv -out ./grouperresults.csv \
      path/to/json-workspace/6.3 path/to/patientinput.csv

where…

• catalog-acute.csv: DRG catalogue (“Fallpauschalenkatalog) in CSV format
  (see Catalogs)
• grouperresults.csv: name of the CSV output file generated by the JavaGrouper
• json-workspace/6.3: json specification for SwissDRG V6.0 billing version
• patientinput.csv: file of patient cases that you want to group, in Batchgrouper format

The formats of both the patient case file and the grouper result file are described in the Grouper-Dokumentation (DE, FR, IT).

To see all valid options, run:

 java -jar path/to/java-grouper-1.1.0-all.jar 

Batch Grouping TARPSY patient data

Assuming again the jar file containing the JavaGrouper is named java-grouper-1.10.0-all.jar and you want to group TARPSY patient cases with TARPSY V1.0, planning version 2, on the command line type:

  java -cp path/to/java-grouper-1.1.0-all.jar org.swissdrg.grouper.tarpsy.batchgrouper.TarpsyBatchgrouper \
       -cat path/to/tarpsyspecs/t1.2/catalogue.csv -f bfs -out grouperresults.csv \
       path/to/tarpsyspecs/t1.2 path/to/bfs-patientinput.dat

where…

• catalog.csv: TARPSY “PCG” catalogue in CSV format
  (see Catalogs)
• -f bfs: use the BFS format patient case format. Alternatively, you can use the “MB”-Format, see https://docs.swissdrg.org/TARPSY_Vorgaben_Daten_2015_2016_d.pdf or the “batch” format.
• grouperresults.csv: name of the CSV output file generated by the JavaGrouper, will contain the grouping results
• tarpsyspecs/t1.2: specification for Tarpsy 1.0 planning version 2 (see specifications)
• bfs-patientinput.csv: file of TARPSY patient cases, in BFS format (corresponding to option -f bfs)

To see all valid options, run:

 java -cp path/to/java-grouper-1.1.0-all.jar org.swissdrg.grouper.tarpsy.batchgrouper.TarpsyBatchgrouper
