Cost Analysis of Emergency Medical Services at William Beaumont Army Medical Center

摘要

The purpose of this graduate management project was to prepare an estimate of the full cost of providing inpatient care for emergency department admissions for the military and civilian community of El Paso, Texas for fiscal year 1995. It was found to be an efficient, reliable methodology which can be applied to any military treatment facility. By understanding how costs are accumulated within the MTF, management may make more informed decisions as to the provision of health services. This methodology combines a product line costing approach with the current step down process of MEPRS. The end result places a price tag on the product line in question.
