Just published by two Orthopedics groups in Philadelphia…they calculated an average annual savings of $281,298.05 -- for Total Knee and Total Hip cases alone.
OpFlow has consistently seen a significant opportunity for instrument reduction in the Orthopedics service line at hospitals across the country.
Great study published this month in the American Journal of Otolaryngology by the group at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai. Their efforts achieved an instrument reduction of 64% for rhinoplasty cases, enabling an average cost savings on instrument processing of $62 to $93 per case.
