Understand some basic principles behind economic considerations in surgical practice
Recognize the potential conflict between clinical freedom ,medical ethics and the logic of health economics
Examine areas where surgeons ,by good clinical practice ,can influence the costs of surgery.
Key point: clinical freedom allows you to choose the best treatment for a patient based on clinical knowledge and understanding but this choice should be tempered by an appreciation of the resources available.
![Page 9: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
In simple terms as synonymous with economics
The cost of surgery is not just monetary but also personal and social.
For the patient there is pain,suffering,time spent in hospital and the economic consequences of the disease ,hospitalization and time off work.
![Page 10: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Clinicians are unfamiliar with measuring cost effectiveness
Direct cost :due to dealing with the disease,(born with the health care system,community,and family in directly addressing the problem
Indirect :loss of productivity due to the illness and operation
![Page 12: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Intangible (pain,suffering,anxiety and grief
In the event of a death after surgery the cost of the life is often considered ,in health economic language as an intangible loss
![Page 13: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Will Economic Arguments Take Over And Conflict With Good Patient Care Or Can Good Economic Strategies Mean Better Patient Care?
![Page 14: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Using resources inefficiently or inappropriately.
Using investigative or operative techniques which are out-dated.
Not acting on the patient’s intersts but perhaps in the interest of academia or research.
High complication rates .
The poorly considered introduction of new techniques which demand expensive technological back-up or instrumentation for unproved gain.
![Page 16: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
1-Cost Savings.
2-Effectiveness In Improving Health Care.
3-Cost Savings With an Equal or Better Health Outcome.
4-Having an Additional Benefit Worth The Additional Cost
![Page 17: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The first can be considered as avoided cost this involves estimation of costs caused by the disease process which are avoided by surgical intervention, example appropriate treatment for venous insuffiency in the leg ,thus avoiding burdensome and costly venous ulceration in the patient later .
The third option requires no compromise by accountants, or clinicians ,it is a (a win-win)situation.
![Page 18: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
One method is to Calculate Quality-life-years.
The Benefits Include;
1-Cure
2-Increase In Life Expectancy
3-Increased Quality Of Life
![Page 19: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cost-benefit & Cost-effective Analyses measure & compare The Significant Gains And Lossesassociated With different methods of patient management.
It equates the value in Financial Terms, of a year of Healthy Life.

1-Medical & Surgical Risks
2-Operative or hospital mortality
3-Disability
4-Pain & Suffering
5-Financial Cost
![Page 21: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
1-Day Surgery is Low-cost/High-output Service, it reduces the cost of procedures without increased morbidity.
2-Short-stay Wards & Low-dependancy Units or hotels reduce cost without detriment to the patient.
3-Preadmission Clinics May Avoid Last Minute Cancellations.
![Page 22: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

The detection of metastases in malignant disease must be analysed carefully and the value of commonly performed procedures questioned, is there a proven benefit?
Similarly playing (hunt the primary) may be of no value to the patient in terms of palliation or survival, while having a considerable cost implication for the health care.
![Page 24: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Staging for ovarian ca involves high cost,but has great clinical value when properly performed.it is inappropriate if done routinely.
Projectile vomiting in infancy, a clinical finding of hypertrophic pyloric stenosiswould be a low-cost/high-yield diagnosiswhere as duodenal atresia might be a high-cost/low-yield condition
![Page 25: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Breast Ca
Ca Colon
Aortic Aneurism
Ca Prostate
Can these produce better survival figures & quality of life for the patients?
Can the health care cope with the increased elective work load?
![Page 26: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Some procedures are of low benefit with slight chance of
cure,e.g.oesophageal ca .however the palliative benefits may be
high.
The open surgery of adult inguinal hernia is an example of a well
accepted low-cost/high-yield treatment with an accumulative
economic importance in view of the disease frequency.
Laparascopic surgery for the same disease may not have the same
benefits .
The is a high-cost/high-yield procedure.
In emergency surgery(appendicitis)costs can be minimized by
avoiding negative laparotomies & complications.
![Page 28: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The effectiveness of a test is a measure of how the test findings influnce the subsequent diagnostic or surgical strategy.
-Routine tests for all admissions are an example of uncritical & inefficient use of lab. tests.
-Many tests are expensive & overlap others .
The best is to order few tests in an appropriate order that will provide the speediest diagnosis
Try to become familiar with the sensitivity & specificity & broad costs of the tests.

1-FNAC
2-High-cost/High-yield procedures for the Management Of Certain Conditions eg Pouch surgery for Uc & angioplasty for peripheral & coronary disease, they improve The Quality Of Life.
3-Lapchole & Other Laparoscopic Surgeries.
4-Develop Local Protocols
![Page 30: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Postoperative complications are expensive and can spoil any attempt to improve the cost effectiveness of surgery.
Measures To Reduce Complications;
1-Clinical Audit
2-Specialization
3-Abandoning Out-dated Unproved Procedures.
4-Prophylactic Regimes(antibiotics &Thromboembolic Prophlaxis)
5-Adopting New Proven Techniques

Waste Inappropriate investigations Inappropriate operations Rationing Cost Containments Ethics These are very important questions when
considering economics in medical practice.
![Page 32: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
WASTE INAPPROPRIATE INVESTIGATIONS INAPPROPRIATE OPERATIONS RATIONING COST CONTAINMENTS ETHICS THESE ARE VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
WHEN COSIDERING ECONOMICS IN MEDICAL PRACTICE.
![Page 33: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The response to these questions need to be well thought and workable
It is easy (to do something )particularly when faced with an individual patient ,but perhaps we should stand back ,take a broader view and consider whether an action for the individual patient is appropriate and/or cost effective
![Page 34: Sas economic aspects of surgery](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ae6c421a28abd54f8b4738/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
A multitude of tests and procedures does not necessarily produce an accurate or speedy diagnosis ,a lower morbidity or mortality or (better )health care
Professional guidelines and clinical audit may sometimes help us when it is necessary to say (no)
We have not found all answers yet,but you must begin to address these difficult questions
