To assess the diagnostic efficiency and direct costs of electrophysiologic tests, times and clinical data (admittance, diagnosis, final diagnosis and clinical reports) of 144 patients were recorded and statistically analyzed. Capital outlay on equipment and personnel costs were also evaluated to determine the economic impact of the tests. Electrophysiologic tests were found to play an important role in diagnosis and choice of therapy. It is important to improve collaboration between the referring ophthalmologist and the electrophysiology staff to inform patients better and to optimize the cost-benefit standards of the service. The current reimbursement by the Regional Public Health Service underestimates the costs of electrophysiologic tests.
为评估电生理检查的诊断效率和直接成本，记录并统计分析了144例患者的检查时间及临床数据（入院情况、诊断、最终诊断和临床报告）。还评估了设备的资本支出和人员成本，以确定这些检查的经济影响。结果发现，电生理检查在诊断和治疗选择中发挥着重要作用。加强转诊眼科医生与电生理工作人员之间的协作，以便更好地告知患者并优化服务的成本效益标准非常重要。地区公共卫生服务机构目前的报销金额低估了电生理检查的成本。
