The ever shrinking health care dollar is driving our need to know exactly what procedures cost. With that in mind we are interested in knowing whether anyone is utilizing the perpetual inventory link between Pharmacy and Materials Management and the Cost Accounting module to determine what are the true costs of procedures? We currently utilize Omnicell dispensing machines and unit dose as much as possible, as we utilize the BMV module. The medications are charged at the point of removal from the Omnicell machines. If you are utilizing it we would be interested in knowing: 1. When there is a discrepancy how is it resolved? 2. What is the expected time to build the dictionaries needed? 3. What is the true maintenance of the dictionary? (i.e. 1 FTE, less, more) 4. Is anyone using the Cost Accounting and this link to determine costs, or are there other means to accomplish this? Any and all feedback would be appreciated regarding the positives and negatives of pursuing the project. Thank you Cindy Cindy M.
