Abstract
After implementation of SAT program, fewer patients of lower complexity came to the AMC from the SAT area, and there was a significant increase in nursing workload and costs. During this interval, hospital margin for cardiac operations decreased from both referral areas but decreased significantly more for coronary artery bypass graft patients from the SAT area.
