Everyone also knows that these cost pressures are merely beginning. All indications point to a future environment of intense competition, managed care based on cost-per-covered-life reimbursement, reduced reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid, and further reconfiguration of the industry to shift patients from in- to out-patient settings. When we focus on the future, the $64,000 question is: \"What is the healthcare industry doing to control non-labor expenses, and who is responsible for this ambitious undertaking within each hospital or network?\" With nearly 30% of every hospital dollar consumed by non-labor expenses, are current efforts adequate to meet future demands? This article focuses on a strategic plan for reducing non-labor expenses.</p>","PeriodicalId":80029,"journal":{"name":"Journal of healthcare resource management","volume":"14 10","pages":"9-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21034276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Webb Memorial Hospital (Sun City West, AZ). Boswell, in a survey of 3,600 acute care facilities by KPMG Peat Marwick, was ranked as the most cost-effective hospital in the nation; Webb ranked sixth. A contributing factor to the efficiencies at both non-profit hospitals is the technology used in the laboratory. This article discusses the need for healthcare officials to look beyond bottom line figures to understand the important role that technology in the lab can play. Using the advantages of technology allows the lab to provide information quickly to patient care providers, allowing them to make clinical decisions. Having the information in a timely fashion can help reduce the length of patient stay and allow for faster processing through the ER.</p>","PeriodicalId":80029,"journal":{"name":"Journal of healthcare resource management","volume":"14 9","pages":"25-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21034377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
