Cost control, a myth or reality: do hospital costs really go down when quality goes up?

Quality improvement is needed to meet the demands for quality while simultaneously reducing the cost of delivered health care. In a competitive market of corporate hospitals, quality improvement would lower the proportion of unit cost relative to potential revenue thereby increasing profit. For public hospitals, the mandate for 'minimum quality', which is the basis for accreditation, could also be attained by efficient use of hospital resources.

The purpose of this paper is to provide hospital managers with important knowledge and skills in developing efficiency measures that hospital can use as guidelines in monitoring and controlling operational costs. Efficiency measures are judgmental and comparative. Cost and quantity are the variables in the computation of efficiency measures but it is very important to integrate these variables with quality. A hospital is efficient if it can render quality service at the most cost effective manner.
