Abstract:
This paper begins with a definition of microcosting, including the specification of design criteria and a general model framework. The necessity for micro- as opposed to macro-costing is discussed. Examples of microcosting systems are provided. Relative value scale and case-mix alternatives to microcosting are presented.
