Abstract
Cost-efficiency is one of the essential attributes of a highly-performing healthcare system. In this paper, we discuss the inpatient-outpatient transfer of minor gynecological procedures and attempt to suggest solutions for the rampant inefficiency in the healthcare system.
Highlights
Healthcare providers can play a very decisive role in defining healthcare efficiency by fostering a positive dialogue with payers and patients and actively engaging in drafting healthcare policies
Taking office hysteroscopy as an example, the literature attests to its high success rate and low complication rate, but fewer than 20% of gynecologists perform hysteroscopy in their offices.[5,6]
There is no incentive for physicians, to convert hysteroscopy to an office procedure
Summary
Healthcare providers can play a very decisive role in defining healthcare efficiency by fostering a positive dialogue with payers and patients and actively engaging in drafting healthcare policies. We believe that hysteroscopy has little place in the hospital; it should be an office procedure. There is no incentive for physicians, to convert hysteroscopy to an office procedure.
