Abstract

The structure of this chapter is as follows: In the first section, a thorough analysis of the presented machine learning methods for early DRG classification and its comparison with a DRG grouper is provided. In the second section, a computational and economic analysis of scheduling the hospital-wide patient flow of elective patients is given.
