Cost Analysis of Outpatient Colectomy in a Tertiary Center: A Projected Medico-Economic Evaluation.

Aim Of The Study: Short stay processes are incentives to unburden chronically stressed healthcare systems. The aim of this study is to analyze financial implications of day admission (DAS) and outpatient strategies for colon resections in a prospective payment system (PPS) using Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) coding.

Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing left and right colonic resections between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2020 were included.

Complementary and integrative medicine - Resolving situations of reduced remuneration for additional work under the SwissDRG system.

Aim Of The Study: Complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) has been increasingly recognized as offering promising treatment adjunctions in various clinical settings, even amongst patients with serious, chronic, or recurrent illness. Today, only few tertiary care facilities in Switzerland offer dedicated CIM services for inpatients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether CIM services for complex medical conditions are adequately valued by the national inpatient SwissDRG reimbursement system.
