  • Title: [Operations before and after the beginning of budgeting; ever better results from medical practice].
    Author: Hoogendoorn D.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 1989 Jan 28; 133(4):162-7. PubMed ID: 2922078.
    Abstract:
    The number of operations performed clinically has decreased fairly steeply, mostly since 1982, the start of hospital budgeting. This decrease concerns all age groups except that of 65 and older. It appears that especially the minor operations are performed in the outpatient clinic more often than formerly. In spite of the fact that this renders the clinical operation schedule gradually heavier, the mortality of patients undergoing clinical operations, already low, continues to decrease rather rather markedly. These findings strongly suggest that the progress of modern medicine also particularly benefits the aged.
