  • Title: Controller's role in monitoring prospective payment system.
    Author: Margrif FD.
    Journal: Health Prog; 1986 May; 67(4):24, 64. PubMed ID: 10300807.
    Abstract:
    The challenge for hospital controllers in overseeing the prospective payment system (PPS) lies not in acquiring technical expertise but in working with the chief executive officer to coordinate organizational change. Specifically, the controller should assist in creating a prospective payment committee (PPC)--an interdisciplinary group of executives, middle managers, and medical staff. The PPC's duties, among others, include educating staff about the PPS, development of a productivity reporting system, and review of the responsibility accounting structure.
