Value determination of medical procedures

Medicalbench® indicates the Value of the medical treatment by dividing the qualitative result (Outcome) by the direct costs of it (Costs).

Value = Outcome / Cost

The functional quality parameters (Outcome)

The most significant functional quality parameters in healthcare are:

1. Pain (50% of the patient population visits a doctor due to pain)
2. Mobility (progress)
3. Strength
4. Coordination
5. Endurance
6. Wellbeing of patient and professional
7. Correct use of medications and prescriptions

For these Medicalbench® has the right validated measurement tools incorporated.

Medicalbench® computes for each medical treatment process, that is characterized by a diagnosis and one or more methods of treatments, the change per registered quality parameter (Outcome).

Cost aspects (Costs)

Cost aspects that play a role in deciding for a treatment during a medical treatment process are e.g.:

• Number of visitations during the treatment process chain
• Amount of materials used like medicines, medical devices etc.
• Hourly rate of the medical professionals involved
• Recovery time relation with the used treatment
• Time to recurrence of the complaint

Medicalbench® receives administrative details for this from Health Information Systems.
