Study Summary

Expenditures on material supplies and medications constitute the greatest per capita costs for surgical missions. We hypothesized that supply acquisition at nonprofit organization cost would lead to significant cost-savings compared to supply acquisition at US academic institution costs from the provider perspective for hernia repairs and minor procedures during a surgical mission in the Dominican Republic.

Primary Outcome

Using quick response (QR) codes for accurate consumption accounting, non-profit and US academic institution unit costs are associated with each item in an electronic inventory system. Medication doses are recorded and QR codes for consumed items are scanned into a record for each sampled procedure.
