The marginal costs of adverse drug events associated with exposures to anticoagulants and hypoglycemic agents during hospitalization.
The researchers estimated the marginal cost of care associated with anticoagulants and hypoglycemic agents for adults in 5 patient groups during their hospital stay and the total annual ADE costs for all patients exposed to these drugs during their stay. The 2013 hospital cost estimates for adverse drug events associated with anticoagulants and hypoglycemic agents were >$2.5 billion for each drug class.

Effect of preoperative opioid exposure on healthcare utilization and expenditures following elective abdominal surgery.
The researchers examined the extent to which preoperative opioid use is correlated with healthcare utilization and costs following elective surgical procedures. They found that compared with non-users, patients using opioids preoperatively were more likely to have a longer hospital stay and were more likely to be discharged to a rehabilitation facility , adjusting for covariates.

Cost-effectiveness of a computerized provider order entry system in improving medication safety ambulatory care.
The study objective was to estimate the cost-effectiveness of computerized provider order entry versus traditional paper-based prescribing in reducing medications errors and adverse drug events in the ambulatory setting of mid-sized medical group. Using a decision-analytic model, the researchers found that the adoption of CPOE in the ambulatory setting provides excellent value for the investment.
