Abstract
Central venous catheter (CVC) placement is a high-volume procedure performed by various personnel, including physicians and advanced practice providers (APPs), and placed in various settings, including operating rooms, intensive care units, and ambulatory surgical centers. Of these locations, CVC placements performed in the hospital-based interventional radiology (IR) suite represent a high-volume setting with presumed high capital costs. We applied time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) methodology to estimate the cost of performing a tunneled CVC placement in a hospital-based IR suite and ultimately building a flexible cost model that can be easily extrapolated to accurately estimate the costs of performing other minimally invasive procedures in different sites by different operators.
