Cost Minimization Analysis of Ganglion Cyst Excision
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2017Cost minimization analysis can be employed to determine the least costly option when multiple treatments lead to equivalent outcomes. We present a cost minimization analysis from the payers' perspective, of the direct per patient cost of arthroscopic versus open ganglion cyst excision.

Cost minimization analysis for basic life support
Resuscitation, 2019The use of online teaching methodology for basic life support (BLS) courses is progressively increasing.The objective of this study was to verify whether the blended-learning methodology (virtual course with a short face-to-face complement) was more efficient than a course that followed the classical or face-to-face methodology in our university.A cost

Time-cost tradeoff analysis with minimized project financing cost
Automation in Construction, 2019Abstract Time-cost tradeoff analysis allows a contractor to build a project using an optimal schedule that leads to minimum cost. The financing cost can be minimized if the financing decision considers different financing alternatives such as short-term and long-term loans and lines of credit.

2011 IEEE/PES Power Systems Conference and Exposition, 2011
Presently, Independent System Operators (ISOs) in deregulated electricity markets in the U.S. use an auction method that minimizes the total bid cost when determining units to be on and their generation levels (Bid Cost Minimization or BCM). It has recently been shown that this method of auction does not provide minimal consumer payment costs for a ...

Tympanic or Rectal Temperature Measurement? A Cost-minimization Analysis
Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2000In a cost-minimization study, we compared tympanic and rectal body temperature measurement in inpatients in a department of internal medicine. At all measurement volumes in a sensitivity analysis, tympanic temperature measurement had markedly lower average cost than rectal measurement, indicating a large savings potential if the former technique is ...
