CW=cost weight, in German: Bewertungsrelation


Explanation:
Die Bewertungsrelation (synonym Kostengewicht, cost weight (CW), Schweregrad oder Relativgewicht) ist eine Kennzahl in medizinisch-ökonomischen Klassifikationssystemen wie z. B. DRG-Systemen zur Abrechnung medizinischer Leistungen in Krankenhäusern. Sie wird einer Gruppe von Patientenfällen (DRG) zugewiesen und gibt den ökonomischen Schweregrad eines medizinischen Falles und damit in Verbindung mit dem Basisfallwert (engl. base rate) den Erlös eines Falles an.

This is an abbreviation for 'cost weight' so its origin is not German.

Example sentence(s):
  • The CW for Mr. Müller is 0.8.
