Our Clients

RDRG® has been used throughout the world by a wide range of healthcare organizations. We don’t actually know the exact number of users of RDRG® because it is licensed by consulting and data management organizations with hundreds more clients. However, patient discharge data from every hospital in the United States are currently analyzed using the RDRG system, and RDRG was used to develop DRG severity systems in Australia, Canada, Germany, Sweden and Korea. A partial list of historical clients appears below.

Here's what one of our clients says about RDRG® and the service she receives from Health Systems Consultants:  "Aspen Healthcare Metrics is a national clinical service line consulting and benchmarking data firm. We specialize in operation margin enhancement for key clinical service lines in adult acute-care hospitals and IDNs. Aspen has utilized the RDRG software for all of our client engagements, allowing us to make 'apples to apples' comparisons between physicians as well as hospitals. It is inevitable that our clients tell us their patients are sicker than average in an attempt to explain high costs. The RDRG software allows us to get an accurate picture of the severity of the patient populations we are looking at. This in turn enables us to predict the expected costs due to the increased resource intensity associated with the higher severity. Once our clients are able to identify whether or not they are dealing with a sicker population, they can set their cost targets accordingly. We apply this same principle on a physician level, which often results in additional savings for our clients."    - Laura Harrelson, Director, Information Systems, Aspen Healthcare Metrics
