Does your budgeting tool address healthcare industry requirements?

PowerHealth’s PowerBudget greatly enhances the budgeting process within the healthcare industry. For example:

Manage Service Agreements and Amendments

Track your funding and activity targets. Create a budget and forecast, then import actuals, all within a single, centralised system.

Develop Service Plans

Incorporate capacity/demand metrics (beds, separations, average length of stay (ALOS), theatre cases, outpatient department (OPD) attendances) in budget build.

Perform Detailed Revenue Planning

Assign own source revenue (private patient funding) by revenue type (accommodation, theatre, consults and prostheses).

Create Specific Activity Targets

Drill down further to the clinical level by establishing a target that includes: Clinical Division/Stream x Activity classification (DRG, URG, Tier2) x Patient Care Area, by integrating data from PowerHealth's costing and revenue tool, PPM.

Assign Activity Based Budgets

Use PPM costing data to assign activity based budgets to Clinical Division/Stream and Patient Care Area levels (high level by activity classification).
