Calculating costs in a healthcare facility

Context:

Even though the various types of cost of health care facilities present few differences in the daily practice of these facilities, their calculation presents many specifics for implementation.

Thus, the implementation of a fee or price to health services requires a rigorous calculation and management of costs.

The complexity of the calculation of costs in the health care business must not constitute an insurmountable obstacle for health care managers.

With a small investment in the understanding of the theoretical bases of the calculation of costs, it will be possible for you to master the techniques and use of the relevant costs of your establishment.

Objectives:

To learn to design and to implement the mechanism of calculation of costs relevant to health care facilities.

At the end of the training, the participant will be able to respond to the following questions:

• How do health care facilities’ costs behave?
• What are the different costs of health care services?
• When and where does one use the differing costs of a health care facility?
• What are the methods for calculating complete costs?
• What are the methods for validation of a cost?
• What are the precautions to be taken before utilizing a cost?

Training program:

• Understand the behavior of costs.
• Pass from accounting costs to cost. .
• The different types of costs.
• How to calculate costs?
• How to analyze costs?
