Decision Support -  Executive  Management Systems

a. Cost Accounting

Cost accounting is one of three decision-support functions that make up the Administrative Management system. First, the system allocates and distributes costs across department and product lines to measure profitability and to support planning, negotiations, and targeted intervention. Second, it develops organizational budgets and short-term financial projections to model decision alternatives.  And third, it reports and analyzes financial and statistical performance.

b. Contract Management

The Contract Management system integrates knowledge-management and decision-support capability to administer health plans and provider contracts online.  Contract profiles contain key data abstracted from each contract plus historical assessments of contract performance.  Integrated checklists and templates support and ensure timely execution and/or review of all contract provisions.  A file attachment capability enhances information sharing, staff training, and strengthens accountability.

c. Knowledge Management

The Knowledge-Management system maximizes operating and economic leverage. It is supported by Survey and Action Management software that targets opportunities and converts them into enhanced performance. Web-based surveys are developed and administered for applications ranging from patient satisfaction to contract performance and risk management.  Prompted by assessment results, perceived opportunities and/or imposed requirements, organization-specific action plans are initiated and administered online for projects ranging from simple-department specific programs to enterprise-wide initiatives such as marketing campaigns, strategic plans and budgets, and accreditation surveys.
