Audiology at the Bedside: Improving Patient Care & Hospital Efficiency
According to the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project - an organization that publishes longitudinal hospital care data in the US - hospital inpatient care accounts for more than one-third of the total cost of healthcare in the United States.
