    • To identify causes of financial loss and support budget development.

    Main Methods:

    • A decision support system (DSS) was developed.
    • A micromainframe interface approach was utilized.
    • Mainframe computers collected and summarized daily cost data.
    • Microcomputers allocated cost data to specific hospital departments.

    Main Results:

    • The DSS provides essential cost and revenue information for hospital services.
    • This data facilitates the identification of departments with costs exceeding revenue.
    • The system supports the development of future departmental budgets.

    Conclusions:
