Development of Cost Accounting System to Optimize Quality and Cost Control

Abstract

 High quality medical service offered at a low cost became more and more important. To realize an enhancement of the quality and efficiency of medical service, it is necessary for us to have a common scale to measure for medical economics and medical technology. We decided to introduce DPC into a special functioning hospital from April, 2003. We have developing the discharge summary system using ICD-10 database on our hospital information system, and strengthened a facility of DWH.

 And in order to support the process of optimizing cost allocations, we have developed a hospital cost accounting system. As a result, we expect to advance our system with the remarkable effect of these new functions.
