In the postoperative clinic
setting, redesign strategies included evaluating alternative
follow-up approaches, such as nurse telephone clinics,
telemedicine, and electronically monitored patient-reported
symptom scores. The TDABC costing model supports
a dynamic process, with potentially multiple cycles
dedicated to calculating the cost impact of the redesign
options, assessing potential implications for steps down
the map, and determining the cost impact of secondary
implications.
