Özet
Objective: Intensive care is an expensive service. The budget allocated to health is limited. For this reason, it is important for hospitals to use this limited resource in the best way while trying to provide quality service. In this study we wanted to document the cost of patients between different intensive care units (ICU) in our hospital. Method: After having received ethics comittee approval, in this study patients which were admitted to the Internal Medicine ICU, Neuroseurgery ICU (NRS) and Anesthesiology ICU (Reanimation) in 2015 year was included. The necessary information was obtained from our hospital's chief staff of the Department of Information Technology and billing units. Results: The study included 179 patients in the Internal Medicine ICU, 429 patients in the Reanimation, and 297 patients in the NRS ICU. Patients' demographic data, types of insurance, length of stay, intensive care results are similar. NRS ICU was different from the other two intensive care units in blood tests, surgery costs, infection parameters and nutrition costs. The cost of consultation was different from the other two intensive care units. Pathology, blood bank, and interventional costs were different in all three intensive care units (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result, although there were different dynamics, there was no difference between the expenditure amounts and distribution of all ICU, and the payments made by social security institution (SSI) were not sufficient.
