Abstract
Aim Our aim was to make a detailed evaluation and cost analysis of the 10 most frequent angiography interventions in outpatients and inpatients at a university hospital. Material and Methods Based on a detailed process-oriented model we calculated the cost and income for port and dialysis catheter implantation, PTA at the upper (UL) and lower leg (LL), TACE, SIRT, stent angioplasty (pelvis, visceral and supra-aortal vessels) and cerebral coil embolisation for the situations mentioned above. Various income models (DRG, GOA) were considered. A comprehensive evaluation of the overhead and personnel costs was performed. Results The calculated data (in (sic)) were as follows (overall, material, personnel costs, DRG income, GOA income inpatients, outpatients): port catheter: 375, 266, 59, 328, 260, 612; dialysis catheter: 456, 349, 59, 272, 343, 807; PTA UL: 595, 445, 99, 1 240, 425, 1 077; PTA LL: 732, 552, 129, 1 082, 425, 1 184; stent pelvis: 1 523, 1 338, 135, 1 323, 815, n/a; stent visceral: 2 124, 1 875, 199, 1 326, 912, n/a; stent supra-aortal: 1 901, 1 713, 138, 6 705, 1 138, n/a; TACE: 1 359, 1 120, 188, 2 588, 598, n/a; SIRT: 1 251, 1 054, 147, 2 289, 1 107, n/a; intracranial embolisation: 6 684, 6 367, 266, 6 531, n/a, n/a. Conclusion Depending on the income model applied, most procedures caused a deficit, especially using GOA calculations. Outpatients covered by the private health insurance caused earnings for the procedures applied. Only TACE, SIRT and stent angioplasty of supraaortal vessels caused profits in inpatients using InEK calculations.
