| Popis: | Cost analysis of the bedside blood glucose testing program at a Veterans Affairs medical center indicated a per-test cost of $11.50, as opposed to the conventional laboratory testing cost for serum glucose of $3.19. Extrapolated to the 172 Veterans Affairs hospitals, the extra cost of the procedure is estimated to be in excess of $3 million each year. |
