  • Title: Examining the effect of PPS on cost accounting systems.
    Author: Rezaee Z.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 1993 Mar; 47(3):58-60, 62. PubMed ID: 10145770.
    Abstract:
    The cost of treating patients varies widely, but the prospective payment system (PPS) pays hospitals the same amount for every patient at a standard diagnosis-related group (DRG) rate. When PPS was implemented in October 1984, many predicted that implementation of PPS would cause hospitals to make significant changes to their traditional cost-accounting systems. This article examines the accuracy of those predictions.
