A Cost Analysis of Recapturing Selected CHAMPUS Workload at Fitzsimons Army Medical Center

Abstract

This study examined the inpatient cost difference per bed day between Fitzsimons Medical Center and Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS) in DOD Region III to determine the most available and financially attractive services to which additional resources should be given in order to save the most money. The author identified several services within the hospital that could provide increased services at a significant overall savings to the government. The services would require an increase in staffing to effect the increased ability, but still at a significant savings. Keywords: Health care; Cost analysis.
