The impact of near-patient testing on the organisation and costs of an anticonvulsant clinic

K Elliot et al. Ther Drug Monit. 1990 Sep.

Abstract

A near-patient testing facility was provided at an anticonvulsant clinic and compared with the previously offered service. Productivity was increased by over 20%, with savings in medical and nursing staff time. This saving in time is offset by increased consumable costs but still enables a significant net saving.
