Given the costs of delivering care for men with prostate cancer remain poorly described, this article reports results time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) competing treatments low-risk cancer. Process maps were developed each phase from initial urologic visit through 12 years follow-up robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), cryotherapy, high-dose rate (HDR) and low-dose (LDR) brachytherapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic body (SBRT), active...
Object To date, health care providers have devoted significant efforts to improve performance regarding patient safety and quality of care. address the lagging involvement in cost component value equation, UCLA Health piloted implementation time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC). Here, authors describe experiment, share lessons learned across continuum, report how TDABC has actively engaged activities redesign. Methods After selection pilots neurosurgery urology creation team,...
We report the implementation of time driven, activity based costing for competing treatments small renal masses at an academic referral center.To use we developed a process map outlining steps to treat masses. then derived costs supplying every resource per unit time. Known as capacity cost rate, this included equipment and its depreciation (eg price minute operating room table), personnel space rent clinic space). multiplied each rate by step. Time was defined sum products...
