By Andreas Frodl

Operating costs are an ongoing issue in hospitals, medical and dental practices, medical care centers or care facilities. Personnel, material or energy costs seem to be increasing inexorably and have a negative impact on the economic results. Against the background of revenue budgeting, fee caps and limited opportunities to generate income, it is therefore important to use the existing potential on the expense side and to keep expenses under control. Not all costs are “god-given”, nor is one completely powerless in the face of certain cost developments. It is important to keep the balance between what is medically necessary and what is economically sensible. In all cost considerations, the focus is always on the well-being of the patient,

Based on 8 key questions and the chapters derived from them, the various options for cost control and specific instructions for action for healthcare facilities based on numerous examples are to be shown. For quick access, a glossary at the end of the book contains brief descriptions of important cost-related terms. Each chapter contains a summary and the relevant references for further reading.
