Funds flow system for academic health centers

摘要

A system and method for tracking and reporting the flow of funds between participants in an academic health center including a school of medicine, a hospital and a faculty clinical practice. The participants identify transactions between the participants and other entities. The participants then list all of the sources of funds and uses of funds for each department within an participant. The lists are analyzed to generate departmental sources of funds and uses of funds statements. The flow of funds include normalized hidden sources of funds, such as unreimbursed expenses. The lists are used to generate standardized and customized departmental statements. Using the standardized departmental statements and participant statements, departmental and participant ratios cab be generated. The ratios allow the participants to compare the participant's departments with each other as well as with other participant's departments and with other academic health centers.
