  • Title: Variance analysis refines overhead cost control.
    Author: Cooper JC, Suver JD.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 1992 Feb; 46(2):40, 42, 46 passim. PubMed ID: 10145572.
    Abstract:
    Many healthcare organizations may not fully realize the benefits of standard cost accounting techniques because they fail to routinely report volume variances in their internal reports. If overhead allocation is routinely reported on internal reports, managers can determine whether billing remains current or lost charges occur. Healthcare organizations' use of standard costing techniques can lead to more realistic performance measurements and information system improvements that alert management to losses from unrecovered overhead in time for corrective action.
