Savings applied exclusively to urgent EEGs (2.5% of total EEG volume)
Assumptions Used
Urgent EEG rate: 2.5% of total EEGs
Labor savings per urgent EEG: $57.50
LOS savings per urgent EEG: $10,000 (per day, assumed 1 day)
Morbidity savings per urgent EEG: $15,000
| Total EEGs | Urgent EEGs (2.5%) | Labor Savings | LOS Savings | Morbidity Savings | Total Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 2.5 | $144 | $25,000 | $37,500 | $62,644 |
| 500 | 12.5 | $719 | $125,000 | $187,500 | $313,219 |
| 1,000 | 25 | $1,438 | $250,000 | $375,000 | $626,438 |
| 2,000 | 50 | $2,875 | $500,000 | $750,000 | $1,252,875 |
Even with only 2.5% of EEGs classified as urgent, the downstream impact is substantial due to LOS and morbidity avoidance.
At 1,000 total EEGs, urgent EEG optimization drives >$625K in annual system savings.
Labor savings are modest but additive; clinical and operational value is dominated by LOS and complication avoidance.
This model remains conservative, as it assumes only 1 day LOS reduction and applies savings only to urgent EEGs.
