A plan was developed and implemented to reduce costs per unit of service in three departments (pulmonary, cardiology, and neurology services), which resulted in a 19% reduction in cost per RVU over two years. These savings were attained primarily by a reduction of supplies and the redesign of work practices, which resulted in a reduction of both personnel and purchased service expenses. The departments have continued to improved the quality of services provided while reducing the costs of these services through this proactive approach to cost-containment.
制定并实施了一项计划，以降低三个科室（肺病科、心脏病科和神经科服务）的单位服务成本，在两年内每个相对价值单位（RVU）的成本降低了19%。这些节约主要通过减少物资供应和重新设计工作流程实现，从而降低了人员和采购服务费用。这些科室通过这种积极的成本控制方法，在降低服务成本的同时，持续提高了所提供服务的质量。
