Besides, owing to the different composition of DRG costs (e.g., labor costs, material costs), DRGs are affected by this non-adjustment to different degrees, which might result in a preference for less labor-intensive DRGs in high wage index areas and vice versa.
The findings have important clinical utility as they suggest that the noninvasive and more economical diagnostic testing of NT-pro-BNP may allow for easier and less labor intensive surveillance of MS. Further, biomarker testing could be of particular benefit in patients whose body habitus does not allow for favorable echocardiographic images.
This technique has several advantages over other methods, such as does not require hazardous solvents for oil extraction, is less labor intensive, and can be automated for real-time online applications, such as subsea systems.
R&R2MHP is considerably shorter than R&R and it is thus more resource and cost effective, in addition to being less labor intensive for both participants and facilitators.
Through this work, rapid, reliable, precise, broadly applicable, catalyst-free, low-priced and less labor intensive procedure for measuring δ18O of nitrate using Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer has been developed and implemented.
On the other hand, the in vivo approach has its merits by being much cheaper and less labor intensive (no need for enzyme purification).
The PCR-based multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) technique for gene dosage determination offers a higher throughput, less labor intensive alternative.
In addition, use of the device appears to be less labor intensive than 'conventional' methods for cooling (ice packs, fans, dousing with alcohol or water, among other approaches).
Perhaps cloning therapies will only be a realistic option for the very rich? Cloning therapies may, however, become cheaper, less labor intensive and more widely accessible after time.
The less labor intensive fluorescence staining was a reliable technique for quantifying lipid droplets in oocytes and blastocysts.
Array CGH offers the potential for high throughput and high-resolution genome analysis and is a less labor intensive approach than other molecular cytogenetic analyses.
