مستخلص: Background: Value-based bundles require surgeons to understand their costs. Current approaches to cost reporting are confusing and difficult to reproduce. Using the Epic surgical receipt function, we describe an intuitive and systematic approach for evaluating financial data within the operating room.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of all congenital cardiac procedures performed at a single academic medical center between January 1, 2020, and January 1, 2021. Direct operating room supply costs were obtained using the Epic surgical receipt function. Costs were analyzed on the basis of contribution to total annual cost and variability in case cost. Implications for strategies identified within congenital cardiac surgery were then evaluated in adult cardiac surgery.
Results: Five procedures representing 71 patients accounted for more than 50% of the total direct operating room supply costs (left ventricular assist device, Norwood procedure, pulmonary valve replacement, right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery shunt, and aortic arch augmentation). Disposable vascular clips, suture brand preference, and surgical patch materials accounted for 3.7%, 6.6%, and 26.5% of annual direct operating room supply costs, respectively. Improvements to these categories would represent 12% to 14% ($250 000) in annual savings without an anticipated effect on outcomes. Across adult and congenital cardiac surgery, 95% of all name-brand suture use was tied to preference cards. An opt-in vs default approach to name-brand polypropylene suture could save more than $250 000 annually.
Conclusions: The surgical receipt represents a reliable and intuitive way for reporting surgical costs. Systematically analyzing costs and their impact on outcomes will help surgeons improve the value of care they provide.
