Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing Analysis of Telemedicine Services in Radiation Oncology	2020-10-01		.txt	text/plain	1636	89	48	We used time-driven activity-based costing to evaluate the change in resource use associated with transitioning to telemedicine in a radiation oncology department. CONCLUSIONS: A modified workflow incorporating telemedicine visits and work-from-home capability conferred savings to a department as well as significant time and costs to health care workers and patients alike. 5 In this study, using a patient undergoing a 28-fraction treatment course as an example, we used TDABC to evaluate the overall change in resource use associated with transitioning to telemedicine in a radiation oncology department. For each patient undergoing 28-fraction treatment, 6 OTVs, and 1 follow-up visit, transitioning to telemedicine workflow reduced provider costs by $586 compared with the traditional workflow (Table 1 )d comprising space/equipment ($347) and personnel ($239). Compared with a traditional workflow involving in-person visits, a modified workflow incorporating telemedicine visits and work-from-home capability confers provider savings of $586/patient, with number of OTVs and cost of nursing time as the most important model inputs in the specific amount saved.	./cache/cord-310976-24b3c3a4.txt	./txt/cord-310976-24b3c3a4.txt
