Unnecessary administrative delays can account for significant costs if not identified and managed properly. This study compares the types of delays, the length of stay, and the estimated costs at a for-profit hospital and a nonprofit hospital. There was no significant difference between the two hospitals in terms of length of stay. A significant difference in cost was found, however. The major delay problems were related to unavailable outside resources, discharge planning, and physician involvement.
如果不能正确识别和处理，不必要的行政延误可能会导致巨大的成本。本研究比较了一家营利性医院和一家非营利性医院的延误类型、住院时间和估计成本。两家医院在住院时间方面没有显著差异。然而，在成本方面发现了显著差异。主要的延误问题与外部资源不可用、出院计划和医生参与有关。
