Financial management of a hospice program.
Agencies interested in starting hospice programs or maximizing the benefits of existing programs need to implement and maintain accurate and effective internal cost accounting systems. Once established, a cost accounting system provides the administrators of the hospice program with information to prepare budget projections, perform break-even analysis, and develop other reports to assist in making sound business decisions to ensure success.
