Total Abdominal Hysterectomy – TAH is a surgical technique that extracts the uterus through incision in the lower abdomen. It often entails the displacement of one or all of the ovaries and the fallopian tubes. It is required in the situation of gynaecological cancer, such as uterine or cervical cancer; and other disorders such as fi
oids (benign uterine tumours that frequently induce recu
ent bleeding, anaemia, pelvic pain or bladder pressure), endometriosis (the tissue lining inside your uterus that develops out of the uterus on your ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other pelvic or abdominal organs), i
egular vaginal bleeding. It will take about six weeks to heal.
Tuboplasty: is a surgical procedure performed on the fallopian tubes. It is always important to clear a blockage in one of the tubes that can arise either at the uterus of the tube or at the end of the tube. A damaged fallopian tube can prevent a woman from getting pregnant.
Differences in the Three methods have explained below:
1st method
Croswell’s cost accounting system was based on three costing units:
· a bed/day for inpatient care,
· a visit for outpatient care,
· a procedure (or operation) for operating rooms.
Each department was expected to quantify its unit costs, such as expenses per bed per day for inpatient treatment, and to inform them to senior management on a monthly base. Senior management intended to employ the details for expense comparisons, and anticipated that each Chief would render cross-department equivalences as part of its cost control activities. In order to measure the cost per bed/day for the clinical care service, the tax relations staff first measured the direct costs of the department. Then, following the aforementioned approach, it applied the expenses of the examinations, treatments and medications prescribed by the department's doctors from the health care divisions. It applied to these acquired health facilities.
Difficulty in the method:
According to Mr. Haskell's statistics, the expense of TAH non-oncology (which usually took four days in the hospital) was 3,708. (927 x 4). The cost of a big operation with general anaesthesia or 1,197 would be introduced to this. (The method may also be conducted with epidural or spinal anaesthesia at the discretion of the attending physician and the anaesthesia staff, in which situation the overall cost of the procedure would be slightly lower.)
The costs of the inpatient operating room were premised on a two year study and the statistics were revised frequently by the Fiscal Affairs Department. At cu
ent situation, Dr. Julian has not been retained liable for these expenses or for the expenditures of anaesthesia management. She was solely accountable for the costs linked with the pre-and post-operative treatment of patients in her department. Those were the costs that caused her troubles.
2nd method
Gynaecology patient divided into 3 categories:
1. General gynecology/urogynecology (non-oncology)
2. Reproductive/invitro fertilization
3. Oncology
Since comparing a few more advanced treatment rates, Dr. Julian appeared to ha
our certain reservations regarding the cu
ent method. While it was an enhancement on the typical bed/day estimate, it also had issues.
She was especially troubled by the intensity of medical and nursing treatment provided to patients in each sub-specialty. She demonstrated to Mr. Haskell that, for example, a cancer TAH patient received more nursing and...
