This study involved a financial analysis of five Greek public hospital units in the sixth health region from 2012–15. Geographical information systems can be used for the rational management of diagnostic imaging examinations as they allow users to exchange large volumes of financial data very quickly and their statistics allow users to estimate a number of financial indicators. The data include the cost of radiology departments, total cost, revenue, number of magnetic resonance imaging exams and number of hospital beds. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences analysis shows a strong linear correlation between the number of magnetic resonance imaging exams and hospital beds. The majority of hospital units display an overtime revenue increase of magnetic resonance imaging exams in 2012–14. In 2013–15 the cost of radiology departments (a major part of the total cost for the majority of hospital units) decreased by 2–76%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
