Faced with the closing of its service, the Orthopaedics Department at Mt. Sinai Medical Center, working with Materials Management, began a program to become profitable. Through standardization, appropriate utilization, pre-planning of cases and the development of critical pathways, the service has realized about 40% savings in materials and dropped their average product costs to $2,700 per joint and reduced length of stay by five to six days. The keys have been physician input from the start, teamwork and continuous training.
面对服务即将关闭的情况，西奈山医疗中心的骨科部门与物资管理部门合作，启动了一项实现盈利的计划。通过标准化、合理利用、病例预先规划以及制定关键路径，该服务在物资方面实现了约40%的节约，将其平均产品成本降至每个关节2700美元，并将住院时间缩短了五到六天。关键在于从一开始就有医生的参与、团队合作以及持续培训。
