PowerCost Manager (PCM) receives a strong vote of confidence from the Women's and Children's Health in Victoria for its product excellence.
PCM is a web-based patient costing system that reduces hospital costing resources by as much as 50%, and is currently on the shopping lists of many public and private hospitals.
Mari-Ann Scott, Executive Director, Clinical Analysis and Development, is extremely impressed by PCM's superior functionality.
My view is that the costing logic, the simplicity of processing and the reporting functionality makes PCM the best activity-based costing system for any health organization in Australia, and as a bonus PCM is surprisingly affordable.
PCM is very easy to use, eliminating the technical struggle required by previous generation costing products. Clinicians can expect to report on patient costing from their desktop PCs without support from specialist IT staff. Less time is spent on building the data, leaving more time for analysis.
Hospitals can now target clinical practices that lead to improved outcomes and a reduced cost of care. For example, when evaluating treatments for children with croup, clinicians can also compare the benefit of different drug protocols based on the savings to the pharmacy budget, not only for a patient but also for the year. This can amount to a significant sum of money, which can then be channeled into other care improvements.
Designed by local company Power Solutions to meet the needs of Australian hospitals, PCM is expected to win the hearts of many more Australian public and private hospitals.
