Cost of Psychiatric Inpatient Treatment for Dementia in Switzerland: A Case‐Level Analysis of Billing Data
Our analysis provides reliable, case-level cost data for dementia hospital treatment in Switzerland. The total cost of dementia treatment in psychiatric hospitals appears to be much lower than previous estimates had indicated. When correcting for changes in accounting practices, total case costs only increased modestly from 2016 to 2019.
