Assessment of health care cost for complex surgical patients: Review of cost, re-imbursement and revenue involved in pancreatic surgery at a high-volume academic medical centre
2015, HPBCitation Excerpt :Most of the earlier reports, investigating the expenses related to pancreatic surgery, report charges. However, this is an inaccurate representation of hospital financials, because charges do not reflect actual costs and can significantly vary between institutions.9,10 Current literature provides information on total costs associated with pancreatic surgery;11-13 however, there is sparse data showing the cost breakdown and even fewer data on reimbursement and revenue.
Pancreatic cancer: The bigger picture
2001, Surgical Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :The best overall survival rate in a surgical series was 3.6% and, for a nonsurgical study, 1.7%. Although there is no theoretic price for a human life, the limited health care dollar and the emergence of health maintenance organizations force these decisions daily.40,56 No clues have been forthcoming from epidemiologic studies to facilitate the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
