Mp76-09 Identifying and Codifying Complications After Radical Cystectomy: Comparison of Administrative Diagnostic and Procedure Codes and Clinical Chart Review

Abstract

independent observer. We then utilized TDABC as previously described to calculate the cost of each phase of care of the clinic visit.RESULTS: Granular process flow maps were created for each of the 304 patients seen in our urologic oncology clinic (including 110 prostate cancer, 44 bladder cancer, and 32 renal cell carcinoma visits). External validation of 10 randomly selected patients confirmed beacon room accuracy within 30 seconds. Figure 1 details the median time of each phase of care for our renal cell carcinoma patients (Figure 1). Utilizing TDABC, the average cost per renal cell visit was $86 and median wait time 30 minutes.CONCLUSIONS: BLE tracking systems are frequently advertised to be less than 1/5 the cost of legacy tracking solutions. With the proper configuration and analytics, we believe this approach has the potential to nearly fully automate operations flow mapping and allows for accurate direct labor costs in health care. We demonstrate this system can be successfully implemented in urology, and we next seek to develop strategies that mitigate inefficiency and minimize cost.
