A Cost Benefit Analysis of Continued Stay Certification

A large portion of the resources of the Professional Standards Review Organization Program have been directed toward the review of inpatients to determine their need for continued hospitalization. The primary goal of this review process is the containment of hospital costs through the elimination of unnecessary patient hospitalization. A cost benefit analysis of this review process shows that the potential financial savings accrued are unlikely to offset the costs associated with the review procedure
