为了评估德国毒物控制中心（PCC）服务对降低无害暴露情况下医疗保健费用的影响，对200名来电者进行了前瞻性电话调查，询问如果没有PCC服务，会寻求哪些医疗救助。节省的费用是根据电话总数和标准医疗费计算的。在这些情况下，健康保险费用的节省是PCC年度预算的20%至50%。该患者组的德国PCC的成本效益低于北美PCC。通过努力增加公共电话的数量，可以提高成本效益。
To evaluate the effect of a German Poison Control Center (PCC) service on health care cost reduction in cases of harmless exposures, a prospective telephone survey of 200 callers were asked which medical aid would have been sought if no PCC service had been available. Calculation of savings was based on the total number of calls and standardized fees for medical treatment. Savings in costs for health insurance in these cases was 20 to 50% of the annual PCC budget. The cost effectiveness of this German PCC for this patient group was lower than for North American PCCs. Cost effectiveness might be improved by making efforts to increase the number of public calls.
