Zusammenfassung:	Highlights•Australian Refined Diagnosis Related Groups (AR-DRG) V8.0 introduced a new complexity model. •It has a new way to statistically estimate the Diagnosis Complexity Level (DCL). •DCLs are aggregated to form the episode clinical complicity score (ECCS). •It improves relationship with variations in resource use due to episode complexity.
