In five years, Kaleida Health’s Stroke Care Center (SCC) at the Gates Vascular Institute in Buffalo, N.Y., has realized more than $5.4 million in cost savings by using the Aquilion One computed tomography (CT) system from Toshiba Medical, a Canon Group company, to diagnose acute stroke. A multiyear study showed dramatic improvements in patient outcomes across a variety of resource-intensive ICD-9-CM codes, with an up-to-a-full-day reduction in patient length of stay and better discharge dispositions. These results demonstrate that with the right multidisciplinary approach and advanced imaging technology, providers can contain costs while delivering high-quality, effective care that meets the demands of the modern healthcare environment.
