A transition from using multi ‐step procedures to a fully integrated system for performing extracorporeal photopheresis: A comparison of costs and efficiencies

ConclusionsFor hospitals considering a transition from multi‐step procedures to fully integrated methods for ECP where cost may be a barrier, time‐driven activity‐based costing should be utilized to gain a more comprehensive understanding the full benefit that such a transition offers. The example from our department confirmed that there were not just cost and time savings, but that the time efficiencies gained with CELLEX® allow for more patient treatments per year.
