Citation Bowen JM, Snead OC, Chandra K, Blackhouse G, Goeree R. Epilepsy care in Ontario: an economic analysis of increasing access to epilepsy surgery. Toronto: Medical Advisory Secretariat (MAS). Volume 12(18). 2012 Authors' conclusions Epilepsy surgery for medically intractable epilepsy in suitable candidates has consistently been found to provide favourable clinical outcomes and has been demonstrated to be cost-effective in both adult and child patient populations. The first step to increasing access to epilepsy surgery is to provide access to evidence-based care for all patients with epilepsy, both adults and children, through the provision of resources to expand EMU bed capacity and associated clinical personnel across the province of Ontario.
