Research progress and thinking on cost accounting of medical service items based on cost equivalent method / 中华医院管理杂志

Through literature research, this paper analyzed the research progress of medical service project cost accounting based on cost equivalent method. According to the calculation mode of cost equivalent value, this method could be divided into two types, namely, equivalent coefficient method and point method. This paper classified and summarized the application status of cost equivalent method in the cost accounting of medical service projects, analyzed the advantages of cost equivalent method, such as being able to consider a variety of cost drivers, concise accounting process and strong operability, discussed the existing problems of this method, and put forward suggestions for further deepening the application of cost equivalent method and strengthening hospital cost accounting, such as strengthening the summary and case publicity of cost equivalent method, reasonably combining and applying various methods, and scientifically and reasonably developing hospital cost accounting information construction, so as to help build a scientific and accurate cost accounting system for medical service project.

Thoughts and suggestions on high quality cost accounting at multi-campus public hospitals / 中华医院管理杂志

In the era of the new healthcare reform, high-quality cost accounting can effectively enhance the business performance of public hospitals. Compared with single-campus hospitals, the cost accounting of multi-campus hospitals is faced with greater complexity and challenges. The authors analyzed cost accounting problems found in the latter, namely the lack of top-level design in the construction of a fine multi-campus cost accounting system, difficulty of reasonable collection and allocation of various costs, lack of strong information support, outdated research methods used in item cost accounting among others, as well as their causes. On such basis, the authors put forward countermeasures for high-quality cost accounting in multi-campus hospitals, for the purpose of fully leveraging the leadership of cost control in the high-quality development of public hospitals.

Cost accounting for diagnosis items based on virtual standardized clinical chemistry laboratory / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective:Cost accounting for its diagnosis items based on virtual standardized clinical chemistry laboratory.Methods:Relevant data of clinical chemistry laboratories from January to June 2019 were extracted from the laboratory information systems of 10 hospitals in Shanghai, and three health economic experts and the directors of their laboratory departments were interviewed in this regard.On such basis, a virtual standardized clinical chemistry laboratory was constructed. The project cost of the virtual laboratory was calculated from the aspects of supplies exhaust, labor and others. The routine clinical chemistry diagnosis items were clustered according to the principle of laboratory methods, and the cost differences of items in the same cluster were compared using paired t test. Results:The cost of rate method and dry chemical method in testing alanine aminotransferase was 5.12 and 11.63 respectively, and that of immune turbidimetry and immune scattering turbidimetry method in testing immunoglobulin G was 20.00 and 22.26 respectively. Cluster analysis was conducted on 214 routine clinical biochemical diagnostic items, of which 202 items were classified into 42 clusters. The average of clinical chemistry items accounted for 91.7%(4 493/4 900)of the total per day. Based on enzymology, the calculation costs of alanine aminotransferase(rate method), aspartate aminotransferase(rate method), cholesterol(enzyme method)and uric acid(enzyme method)was 5.12, 5.10, 5.24 and 5.14 respectively, presenting no statistical difference( P>0.05). Conclusions:Research on the cost accounting method of clinical chemistry laboratory diagnosis items constructed includes labor cost, reflects the technical labor value of medical staff. Cost accounting based on project clustering can provide references for medical service pricing and financial management of hospitals.

Cost accounting of hospital pharmaceutical service based on job analysis / 中华医院管理杂志

With the full implementation of the separation policy of medicine in China, the circulation of drugs in hospitals no longer produces direct economic value, but turns into the operating cost in the process of providing medical services. The research on the cost calculation of hospital pharmaceutical service can not only help the hospital to strengthen the internal cost management, but also provide the basis for the government policy compensation. This paper constructed a model of pharmaceutical service cost calculation based on job analysis, and produced basic pharmaceutical and advanced pharmaceutical service cost based on the data of a sample hospital.

Cost accounting of telemedicine service items based on improved activity-based costing / 中华医院管理杂志

Telemedicine can optimize deployment of medical resources and minimize diagnosis discrepancies.Formulation of a rational project pricing and scientific compensation policy will be conducive to its future development. The concept of human resource consumption in RBRVS was used as reference to improve the activity-based costing ( ABC ) method. The authors sorted out the resource cost repository, identified the activity system, classified the motivation resources into respective activity cost repositories, and calculated the cost of respective cost object distribution.The cost of three telemedicine service items(remote single discipline consultation, remote image consultation and remote pathology consultation were 119.69, 147.03 and 161.61 yuan respectively) was calculated by the improved ABC.It can better indicate project costs than that calculated by the traditional ABC(137.30, 147.17 and 144.08 yuan), and proves more consistent with the existing prices of other province(134.00, 150.00 and 174.00 yuan).

Standardization-based research on fiscal compensation measurement for communities in Shanghai / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective To determine the standardized workload first of all. Then based on such workload, to establish the government′s resource input and allocation mechanism, and build the post setup, a fiscal compensation system, and the salary distribution mechanism of community medical staff. Methods This study selected 65 community health centers in Shanghai′s downtown area, suburban area and outer suburbs as sample units to investigate with questionnaires such indicators as community medical and health expenditure, standardized workload among others.With the measured workload as basis, item costs of health services at Shanghai′s communities were calculated. Results That of downtown, suburban and suburban areas accounted for 71.60% , 72.13% and 73.14% respectively of the total expenditure on health care.The unit cost of standardized workload varies with areas, while that in suburban and suburban areas was significantly higher than that downtown. The actual fiscal compensation was 20% lower than the target compensation as designed in the reform. Conclusions The ideal investment of basic public health services based on standardized workload can effectively realize the equalization of services among areas and promote effective allocation of resources. At the same time, estimates of the total standardized workload from the perspective of the demand side, and determination of an ideal investment ceiling for the investment of areas′services budgets, can effectively minimize the waste of resources.

Analysis of cost accounting influencing factors for public hospitals in China and the institutional building / 中华医院管理杂志

The factors influencing cost accounting fall into such three categories as drivers and incentives,factors affecting authenticity and accuracy,and factors affecting application and selection.DRG payment,as it is getting more popular than before,is pushing forward cost accounting at an unprecedented pace.Thanks to the current payment system reform and the transition of public hospital reimbursement regime,such needs as exact payment,j ust compensation and cost/performance management of such hospitals are challenging the present cost accounting system,calling for the birth of a cost accounting system for these hospitals.To build such a system,micro-and macro-level goals need to be considered simultaneously,while needs of different levels should be designed,integrated and interacted with each other.Only in this way,goals can be reached for such a system.
