The need for careful cost-effectiveness studies in the field of RCS is apparent. Salaries consume most of the cost, and overtrained and expensive personnel may be saturating the work force. Costs for consumable and nonconsumable supplies have not risen out of proportion to general economic inflationary indixes. Close examination is needed of therapeutic modalities that are expensive and that stand on shaky scientific ground. However, the short-term experience of the medical center's multidisciplinary respiratory rehabilitation program has demonstrated that such programs can be worth the costs involved.
在呼吸康复领域进行谨慎的成本效益研究的必要性是显而易见的。薪资占了大部分成本，过度培训且昂贵的人员可能使劳动力趋于饱和。消耗品和非消耗品的成本增长与一般经济通胀指数相比并未失衡。对于那些昂贵且科学依据薄弱的治疗方式需要进行仔细审查。然而，该医疗中心多学科呼吸康复项目的短期经验表明，此类项目可能物有所值。
