Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
As documented in this study, 19 percent were found to have a significant risk of having a cardiac arrest. The impressive ROI calls out to other organizations that cardiac arrest testing is a good use of funds. But more important, yet more difficult to define, is the human impact. Cost savings aside, this form of testing may be able to offer a greater solution than the reactive measures employed to date. If we can reduce cardiac arrest proactively and save considerable amounts of money in the meantime, is there any reason not to try? |
