Abstract
By understanding the costs of various activities, managers can improve the efficiency of hospital departments, as well as hospital system as a whole. Hospital management has a responsibility to the community to provide health services that the community needs at an acceptable level of quality and at the least possible cost. Cost finding and analysis can help departmental managers, hospital administrators and policy makers to determine how well their institutions meet these public needs. The study revealed that Total average cost for per Inpatient per day was Rupees 2238. Manpower cost constituted the maximum proportion 63% of the total average cost i.e Rupees 1419 followed by utility cost 23% i.e Rupees 620 and material cost 9% i.e Rupees 199. The study establishes that manpower cost constitute the maximum proportion of the total average inpatient cost. There is a need for hospital managers to frame strategies for effective and efficient use of manpower so that inpatient cost can be marginalized to save resources which can be utilized for patient betterment scheme and to provide subsidized care to the poorer section of society
