Variation in spending around surgical episodes of urinary stone disease: findings from Michigan.
This study examined variations in outpatient procedure costs for patients undergoing uretoscopy or shock wave lithotripsy at 62 hospitals in Michigan from 2012 to 2015. Expenditures were totals for all relevant procedures during the 30-day surgical episodes. A total of 9,449 uteroscopy and 6,446 shock wave lithotripsy procedures were performed. The main variations were explained by payment differences for the index procedure and postacute care services.

Factors associated with the use of cognitive aids in operating room crises: a cross-sectional study of US hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers.
This study examined organizational context and implementation process factors influencing the use of cognitive aids for OR crises. It found that small facility size was associated with a fourfold increase in the odds of a facility reporting more successful implementation. Completing more implementation steps was also significantly associated with more successful implementation.
