What is the cost of treating a patient with pancreatitis under each of the cost
accounting systems? A patient with cardiac dysrhythmia?
Pancreatitis Patient:
Original System: $3,709 (4 days at $927.25 per bed/day).
Specialty-Based System (Gastroenterology): $3,370.44 (4 days at $842.61 per bed/day).
Level of Care System: $2,820 (4 bed-days, 8 MTUs, 5 nursing units).
Cardiac Dysrhythmia Patient:
Original System: $2,718.75 (3 days at $927.25 per bed/day).
Specialty-Based System (Cardiology): $3,499.41 (3 days at $1,166.47 per bed/day).
Level of Care System: $3,732 (3 bed-days, 12 MTUs, 10 nursing units).
Liver Cancer Patient:
Original System: $6,490.75 (7 days at $927.25 per bed/day).
Specialty-Based System (Oncology): $13,654.06 (7 days at $1950.58 per bed/day).
Level of Care System: $8,484 (7 bed-days, 20 MTUs, 38 nursing units).
Changes from one system to the next:
Pancreatitis: Cost decreases from original to specialty-based to level of care system due
to more accurate resource allocation.
Dysrhythmia: Cost increases from original to specialty-based to level of care system,
reflecting higher medical and nursing care needs.
Liver Cancer: Cost remains high across all systems, indicating the complexity and
resource-intensive nature of treatment. Specialty-based system may overestimate costs.
General trend:
Specialty-based or level-of-care-based systems provide more accurate cost estimates by
considering specific resource needs for each type of patient.
Diseases with higher resource requirements, like dysrhythmia and liver cancer, may show
cost increases when moving from the original to more detailed cost accounting systems.
Pancreatitis, with lower resource needs, shows a cost decrease in more detailed
systems.
