    Area of Science:

    • Health economics
    • Laboratory medicine
    • Surgical services

    Background:

    • Same-day surgery programs require efficient and cost-effective laboratory support.
    • Centralized laboratory models may incur higher logistical and operational costs for specialized programs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze and compare the expenses of satellite laboratory services versus a centralized laboratory for a same-day surgery program.
    • To quantify the financial impact of utilizing a decentralized laboratory model.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative cost analysis of laboratory services.
    • Evaluation of expenses associated with a dedicated satellite laboratory.
    • Assessment of costs for services provided by a central laboratory.

    Main Results:

    • Satellite laboratory services demonstrated dramatic savings for the same-day surgery program.
    • Decentralized laboratory support proved more cost-effective than centralized services.

    Conclusions:

    • Implementing satellite laboratory services is a financially advantageous strategy for same-day surgery programs.
    • Decentralization of laboratory services can lead to significant cost reductions in surgical care settings.
