Application of a Cost Calculation Approach in Medical Oncology: Case of Hassan Ii University Hospital in Morocco

Résumé

Abstract Background: Text for this section. In Morocco, hospitals do not have cost accounting systems that allow them to produce reliable budget forecasts and to know and justify the costs of their operations. Moroccan hospitals are thus among the public organizations that do not know the cost of their services. Faced with the lack of data on the cost of care for cancer patients, this research aims to implement an approach to calculate the cost of services provided at the level of the medical oncology department of the Hassan II University Hospital in Fez. The objective is to provide data that can be used in the pricing and financing process of the different services provided in medical oncology. Methods: In this research work, we opted for a qualitative approach through a case study. Two main qualitative data collection tools were used: observation and document analysis. We used mainly Microsoft World for text entry and Excel for data processing to determine costs and related statistics Results: The result of this study shows the possible application of an approach that follows a traditional approach of cost calculation. Two main methods were mainly used, namely the volume-based allocation method and the RVU method.
