摘要
The value of health care is defined as health outcomes (quality) achieved per dollars spent (cost). The current national health care landscape is focused on minimizing spending while optimizing patient outcomes. With the introduction of minimally invasive thoracic surgery, there has been concern about added cost relative to improved outcomes. Moreover, differences in postoperative hospital care further drive patient outcomes and health care costs. This article presents a comprehensive literature review on quality and cost in thoracic surgery and aims to investigate current challenges with regard to achieving the greatest value for our patients.
