%X In this commentary, I will describe the circumstances that led to Germany deciding to move to per case paymentby DRG over the next few years, and point out some of the immediate challenges. I will conclude by arguingthat the challenges are such that Germany is unlikely to have the time or the inclination to make any significantmodifications to DRGs in the near future.
