“…It can support individual decision makers, as well as groups of decision makers [3]. The AHP aims to support shared decision making [4,5], decisions on clinical guidelines [6,7], decisions on the development of new technology [8,9], organizational decisions [10,11], and decisions on health policy [12][13][14], such as regulatory decisions, reimbursement decisions, or allocation of public research funding.…”

The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been increasingly applied as a technique for multi-criteria decision analysis in healthcare. The AHP can aid decision makers in selecting the most valuable technology for patients, while taking into account multiple, and even conflicting, decision criteria. This tutorial illustrates the procedural steps of the AHP in supporting group decision making about new healthcare technology, including (1) identifying the decision goal, decision criteria, and alternative healthcare technologies to compare, (2) structuring the decision criteria, (3) judging the value of the alternative technologies on each decision criterion, (4) judging the importance of the decision criteria, (5) calculating group judgments, (6) analyzing the inconsistency in judgments, (7) calculating the overall value of the technologies, and (8) conducting sensitivity analyses. The AHP is illustrated via a hypothetical example, adapted from an empirical AHP analysis on the benefits and risks of tissue regeneration to repair small cartilage lesions in the knee. Key Points for Decision MakersIn a step-by-step approach, it is illustrated how the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) can support groups making healthcare decisions.The AHP facilitates the decision makers in discussing and valuing the multiple outcomes of alternative healthcare technologies.The AHP can prioritize the healthcare technology to help decision makers in selecting the most valuable technology for patients.

“…Use of disposable products has been shown to be cost beneficial by others as well. [4,12] For instance, Lim and colleagues found that disposable forceps was a cost-effective option compared with reusable forceps. [13] Similarly Moylan and co-workers reported that disposable gowns and drapes were most cost-effective compared with regular cotton fabrics in various hospital settings.…”

The introduction of non-woven spunbond-meltblown-spunbond fabrics did reduce the proportion of resterilisation of packaged instruments. The decline was sharp and sustained over time, even after accounting for the change in the number of procedures. Furthermore, though the switch from woven to non-woven fabric was cost-effective in our situation, it may not be directly translated to other scenarios.

“…In recent years, several efforts have taken place to reduce the incidence of wound contamination and periprosthetic infection in TKA. Examples of such efforts include administering prophylactic antibiotics, preoperative skin decontamination regimens, iodoform-impregnated adhesive drapes, body exhaust surgical suits, and using multiple blades for exposure [5][6][7][8]. However, another source of potential contamination has only recently been targeted: TKA instrumentation.…”
