This study complies with the reorganization of health care provider processes in order to value the cost of life cycle of the product. Using standard replacement flows, we build the “bill of materials” (BoM) for calculate the cost of a CRRT (Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy) treatment with citrate as proposed by the industry. The standard cost of the process is obtained. The method that we developed can be used for accounting purposes and for economic planning, as a tool for statistical evaluation of medical care and for the accuracy of the result.

This study complies with the reorganization of health care provider processes based on the cost of life cycle of the product. The aim is to determine the costs of treatment administration of extracorporeal dialysis and other treatments in extracorporeal systems. The strategy here was to apply for the first time the "bill of material" (BoM) method to the production and management of the services above. By using standard replacement flows, we build the "bill of materials" to calculate the cost of a CRRT (continuous renal replacement therapy) with anticoagulant. The standard cost of the process is thus obtained. The method here developed can be used for accounting purposes and for economic planning, as a tool for accurate statistical evaluation of medical care.

Abstract

This study complies with the reorganization of health care provider processes based on the cost of life cycle of the product. The aim is to determine the costs of treatment administration of extracorporeal dialysis and other treatments in extracorporeal systems. The strategy here was to apply for the first time the "bill of material" (BoM) method to the production and management of the services above. By using standard replacement flows, we build the "bill of materials" to calculate the cost of a CRRT (continuous renal replacement therapy) with anticoagulant. The standard cost of the process is thus obtained. The method here developed can be used for accounting purposes and for economic planning, as a tool for accurate statistical evaluation of medical care.
