Shared-savings program for surgical supplies decreases costs
Editor's Note
Incentivizing surgeons to standardize surgical supplies led to dramatic cost savings in this study.
A shared-savings program that returned 50% of money saved on surgical supplies to the surgery division realized a total cost-savings of $893,865. A total of $446,932 was shared with 15 surgery divisions.
Quality of care was not compromised, and no conflicts of interest were created, the authors say.
