title: Medicare cost reporting: how to put a hospital's cost report on a micro-computer.
abstract: The major advantage of the micro-computer, in addition to its cost and speed, is that a particular analysis or work sheet can be done with relatively ease by the accountant. Without waiting for a programmer to program the particular application, debug it, and then change it several times after determination that it doesn't provide all of the information needed, the financial manager can do this right at his desk.
