True cost estimation of common imaging procedures for cost-effectiveness analysis - insights from a Singapore hospital emergency department
There is a modest gap between hospital charges and actual costs, and we must therefore exercise caution and recognize the limitations of utilizing hospital charge records as absolute metrics for cost-effectiveness analysis<i>.</i> Our detailed approach can potentially enable more accurate imaging cost determination for future studies.
