Decrease Complexity. Improve Quality.

The average cost per minute of operating room time in U.S. hospital is $62¹

Operating room costs can account for up to 35% of total hospital costs² 

Perioperative inefficiency is linked with increased costs, decreased patient satisfaction and, most importantly, increased patient morbidity, with rates reported as high as 42.4%¹ 

As health systems continue to look for ways to reduce costs without compromising patient care, the Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies (JJMDC) can support these goals by bringing expertise from across the broad JJMDC portfolio.
