Occupational injuries represent a measurable part of the operating costs in the health care environment. Injury rates in hospitals have been documented to be higher than those in industry; one possible cause may be the cost-based reimbursement setting which provides no incentive to reduce occupational injuries. With the advent of prospective payment, the costs associated with occupational injuries must be reduced. This paper will discuss the common hazards in radiology, as well as action that can potentially reduce these costs. Prospective payment has given a new meaning to cost containment, forcing the radiology administrator to seek all possible means to contain costs.
职业伤害是医疗环境运营成本中可衡量的一部分。据记录,医院的伤害发生率高于工业领域;一个可能的原因可能是基于成本的报销制度,该制度没有减少职业伤害的激励措施。随着前瞻性支付的出现,与职业伤害相关的成本必须降低。本文将讨论放射科的常见危害,以及可能降低这些成本的措施。前瞻性支付给成本控制赋予了新的意义,迫使放射科管理人员寻求一切可能的方法来控制成本。
