| Research Abstract |
The objective of this study is to survey the changes of health care services cost or resource consumption accompanied with adverse events, and to estimate required cost to prevent adverse events. Prolonged length of hospital stay and/or additional procedures could be known, but the human resource crisis in the acute hospital care is too serious to carry out effective survey, the study was restricted within the model analyses. On the basis of detailed case analyses, it was found personnel cost including opportunity cost could indicate better reference on resource consumption to prevent adverse events. Then, 1514 hospitals were surveyed on how hospital staff allocates his/her time to safety services. Responses of 843 hospital had induced the result that the average cost for safety management could be estimated amounted to 74 million yen per hospital, i.e. 734 yen per bed per day, and the tendency was found that the smaller hospital, the more expensive per bed.
