Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cost and quality are important, complex, and intertwined surgical outcomes. Evidence suggests that major cost drivers include operating room time, length of stay, re-admission, surgical complications, and quality of pre-operative and operative care in general. Our practices shape both costs and quality of gynecologic surgery. Various factors are explored in this review article to present and identify ways to implement cost-effective change that also improve quality of patient care.
