    Area of Science:

    • Health Economics
    • Surgical Procedures

    Context:

    • Hospitals face challenges with public insurance reimbursement for day surgery and outpatient procedures.
    • Distinguishing between patient transfer to outpatient care and increased hospital capacity is crucial for accurate economic assessment.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the economic viability of day surgery and outpatient treatment models.
    • To evaluate the cost-benefit to society of shifting towards outpatient surgical services.
    • To illustrate a methodology for calculating the economic impact of these surgical approaches.

    Summary:

    • A study examined a short-stay unit, not exclusively for day surgery, to understand the economics of outpatient procedures.
    • Key findings indicate increased treatment capacity and reduced patient wait times as significant benefits.
    • The unit demonstrated profitability, particularly when considering patient sick leave duration during waiting periods.

    Impact:

    • Provides insights into the financial feasibility of outpatient surgery for healthcare providers.
    • Highlights the importance of optimizing hospital capacity and reducing wait times for economic benefits.
    • Offers a framework for assessing the societal economic advantages of day surgery and outpatient care.
