From the Paper:

"Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG) is a procedure implemented by the United States government for the reimbursement of hospitals and other health care providers, in those instances where the government is liable for the costs of health care. The DRG procedures provides reimbursement on a prospective basis--prospective payment system (PPS), which means that the amount of the reimbursement for health care services is established before the services are delivered. The various cost-based reimbursement procedures replaced by the DRG procedure were retrospective in character--retrospective payment system (RPS), which means that the amount of reimbursement was determined subsequent to the delivery of health care services, and was based directly upon the provider costs incurred in the delivery of such services."
