The cost of time spent by HP was calculated by multiplying the time value of each HP by the average time of each procedure; the costs of MR were determined based on the values contained in the Health Public Supply Catalog, in Infomed or in table value provided by the manufacturer.Results: Seven Mainland Portugal hospitals were included, five public and two private, that u...
