This study expands upon our previous work by analyzing admission, length-of-stay, and transfer patterns of non-Medicare and Medicare patients at very small rural hospitals. Twenty-nine diagnostic related groups (DRGs) were added to the list of 109 previously-identified DRGs based on the analysis, and two were deleted.
