  • Title: Resource measurement by health care providers.
    Author: Suver JD, Neumann BR.
    Journal: Hosp Health Serv Adm; 1986; 31(5):44-52. PubMed ID: 10280908.
    Abstract:
    The need to use health care resources effectively and efficiently has led to increased interest in developing a "should cost" approach to performance measurement. The development of appropriate standards and the separation of fixed costs into surrogate variable and capacity components can provide a useful tool for managers to measure performance. This article develops a framework for evaluating the utilization of fixed costs in providing output.
