Teaching Cost Containment to House Officers at Charlotte Memorial Hospital.

Lyle, Carl B., Jr.; And Others

Journal of Medical Education, v54 n11 p856-61 Nov 1979

A cost containment program initiated in 1975 on the medical teaching service of Charlotte Memorial Hospital, a University of North Carolina affiliated hospital, has led to a significant improvement in hospital house staff utilization of facilities and procedures. In the outpatient setting an actual reduction in patient-encounter cost was realized despite inflation. (Author/JMD)
