treefrog, that is a very good article. Is there any that give actual cost in dollars and cents? I know that is hard, with the costs being scattered between the hospital departments, etc. It took a long time to find that for up here.
The ironic part is that the report also states, along with almost every other publication I've found, that the reason they are not doing more ADRs is because of costs....even though their other own government department proves that it is instead cheaper, not more expensive. I suspect they mean that they can not afford all the training, etc. Short sightedness again.....
Have you had any more luck with this, Steve?
