  • Title: Managing capital and administrative (indirect) costs to achieve strategic objectives: the dialysis clinic versus the outpatient clinic.
    Author: West DA, West TD, Malone PJ.
    Journal: J Health Care Finance; 1998; 25(2):20-34. PubMed ID: 9839251.
    Abstract:
    During the race for costing accuracy in health care, managers should acknowledge the equal importance of interdepartmental relations. Although newer costing systems can produce more accurate numbers, greater costing accuracy may not always strengthen the organization. This article demonstrates that subsidizing some capital and administrative (indirect) costs for select hospital departments may help to achieve strategic management objectives.
