Patient-level costing: can it yield efficiency savings?

Patient-level costing: can it yield efficiency savings?:
According
to the Nuffield Trust many hospitals in England are still unable to
track costs because they are using outdated IT systems. This report
examines in depth the experience of one NHS Trust which is more advanced
than most, in that it has a ‘patient-level information and costing
system’. These computerised information systems were introduced in the
NHS in the mid-2000s, and are currently used in many other countries.
