Abstract
Objectives: To characterize the state of the innovative culture and attitude of hospital staff towards Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG) like an innovation for the Colombian health care.
Methods: A case study through convenience sampling among clinical and administrative staff who determine the success of the DRG. Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, regression and correspondence analysis.
Results: The state of innovative culture in the Hospital is favorable for the innovation. There were no significant differences between the views on the innovation of the clinical and administrative staff. The administrative staff and junior doctors are unaware of the DRG. In contrast, experienced doctors and those in management positions know DRG. Significant correlation was found between innovative culture and attitude to the DRG.
Conclusions: The homogeneity of the innovative culture in the Hospital predicts a favorable climate for DRG implementation.
