A population of 250 age-matched cataract patients was studied to determine if hospitalization was required for cataract extraction. The success of the procedure was not jeopardized if immediate ambulation was effected and postsurgical care carried out entirely on an ambulatory basis in a nonhospital environment. The cost containment potential of this approach cannot be readily achieved in the face of existing regulatory systems and insurance requirements.
对250名年龄匹配的白内障患者进行了研究，以确定白内障摘除手术是否需要住院治疗。如果能立即实现走动，并在非医院环境中完全以门诊方式进行术后护理，手术的成功率不会受到影响。面对现有的监管系统和保险要求，这种方法在控制成本方面的潜力难以轻易实现。
