Key result
Integrated cost model uses real patient flow and micro-costing to standardize surgical hospitalization costs.
Why the study?
A gap was observed in health cost studies regarding the standardization of cost models and the ability to assess costs across diverse surgeries within the same hospital.

Enables standardized surgical cost assessment for resource decisions now; extends micro-costing methods to diverse global settings.
Systematic Review
The proposed integrated cost model standardizes cost calculation for surgical hospitalizations, enabling better decision-making and resource allocation, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
Vieira et al. (2022) conducted a systematic review in Surgical hospitalization. Integrated cost model was evaluated. An integrated cost model based on real patient flow and the micro-costing top-down method was developed to standardize and assess diverse surgical hospitalization costs.
