AB - The National Guidelines for Health Planning require 300 cardiac studies per year in
cardiac catheterization laboratories for adequate economic use and safety. To study
how these guidelines would affect existing laboratories, data were collected on the
cost of coronary angiography and use of all cardiac catheterization laboratories in
Washington. The average cost of coronary angiography was $1,363, with the total cost
affected by the duration of hospital stay, cardiac laboratory charges, and
professional fees. Total angiographic use ranged from 293 to 791 studies per room,
but eight laboratories did not perform 300 cardiac studies during 1977. Health
planners recommend high use rates based on the theory that there is an inverse
correlation between the number of studies and cost. In this study, the regression
equation showed no fall in charges with increased number of studies. Therefore,
while it may be reasonable from an economic point of view to expect 300 angiographic
cases per year in existing laboratories, there is no economic justification for
requiring a certain number of cardiac studies per year.
