A cost allocation model for hospice.

Abstract

Increasingly, nurses are becoming involved in the financial aspects of healthcare delivery to determine cost-effectiveness of nursing product lines. A model allocating costs for 15 service components was developed using data from 52 patients receiving Medicare hospice benefits in a home care environment. The model may be adapted for any service line with multiple components and providers to allocate patient care costs.

Over the last 20 years, urgently needed changes in the German health care system have forced hospitals to make a flexible adjustment to rising costs and the single handed, almost unmanageable dynamics of technical innovation in medicine. The partnership between the Salem Hospital and the Heidelberg University Hospital represents a pioneering management concept for the future. The alliance between a university surgical department with a basic peripheral hospital provides large advantages to patients, staff, hospitals and cost carriers.
