Summary

Over the two last decades we have witnessed a process of economic quantification of the Medical Services in general, and of the surgical services among them in particular. The high cost of current medical practice has made it necessary to introduce people responsible for the surgical services of our hospitals into the world of economic management so as to optimise and improve levels of sanitary assistance and selection of medical performance, and consider the cost of such services in the decision making process. This article is a review of this new form of hospital surgical medical practice.
