Developing reports.
The development and uses of reports for hospital pharmacy financial management are described. The source of the data and the availability, characteristics, and primary uses of each financial report are discussed. The reports deal with weekly, monthly, and fiscal-year-to-date drug expenses, monthly drug expenses by hospital cost center, monthly personnel expenses, and monthly revenue. Other reports that examine drug expenses, workload, and revenue in terms of patient days and number of hospital admissions are presented. A proposed drug use by diagnosis-related group (DRG) report is included. The development and use of hospital pharmacy financial reports will enhance the manager's ability to improve or maintain services.
