The Cost Savings Calculator demonstrates the effect Regional Anesthesia can have on patient recovery and a facility’s bottom line. The calculator focuses on the two most common post-op adverse events causing extended PACU stays or delayed discharge: PONV and Pain.56

With this tool, facilities can quantify the cost of avoidable events, calculate the associated profit erosion, and then discover how these hidden costs may be affecting them.

The first step is to identify the significance of these losses within a practice. Then, once documented, share the findings and create a team to focus on containing these costs.
