This research delves into the challenges faced by a hospitality IT vendor providing services to a diverse clientele in Indonesia. The vendor, relying on profits from clients for operational and developmental activities, needs help with the billing process. The complexities arise from various payment schemes, including full payments and installments, coupled with the annual requirement for clients to purchase a maintenance key for continued system access. The existing transaction process experiences delays due to difficulties searching for invoice data among numerous clients with varying payment times. These delays hinder the timely collection of subsequent payments, resulting in receivables and potential disruptions to the vendor's cash flow for operational and developmental costs. Traditional bill recording methods compound the problem with inaccuracies and data retrieval challenges The findings of this research is a web-based application developed through the SDLC prototyping model to address these issues. The application, evaluated through User Acceptance Testing (UAT), successfully overcame the challenges. The results indicate that the application efficiently manages invoice data, facilitates timely payments, and enhances overall accuracy in data processing. In conclusion, the web-based application is an optimal solution, resolving invoice management issues and streamlining processes for the hospitality IT vendor.

“…7 Needless to say, the cost of an ACDF operation, and any surgical operation for that matter, can be significantly affected by medical and nonmedical factors. [7][8][9] Some examples for the latter include geography (different continents, countries, and even cities), type of practice (private versus public), and insurance coverage and policies. Medical factors can be defined as those that are directly linked to the operation itself and the subsequent medical care.…”

Study design This study constitutes a systematic review of the literature. Objective The aim of this study was to identify and present all available studies that report on the costs of osteobiologics used in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Methods The literature was systematically reviewed to identify studies with specific inclusion criteria: (1) randomized controlled trials and observational studies, (2) in adult patients, (3) with herniated disc(s) or degenerative cervical spine disease, (4) reporting on either direct or indirect costs of using specific osteobiologics in an ACDF operation. (5) Only studies in English were included. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the MINORS and RoB 2.0 tools. Results Overall, 14 articles were included; one randomized controlled trial and 13 observational studies. The most commonly used osteobiologics other than autograft/iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) were allograft and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP). None of the studies was reported to be industry-supported. There was considerable heterogeneity on the reported costs. Overall, most studies reported on surgery-related costs, such as anesthesia, operating room, surgical materials and surgeon’s fee. Only two studies, both using allograft, reported the exact cost of the osteobiologic used (450 GBP, $700). Some of the studies reported on the cost of care during hospitalization for the surgical operation, such as radiology studies, emergency room costs, cardiologic evaluation, laboratory studies, pharmacy costs, and room costs. Only a few studies reported on the cost of follow-up, reoperation, and physical therapy and rehabilitation. Conclusion Based on the data of this current systematic review, no recommendations can be made regarding the cost-effectiveness of using osteobiologics in ACDF. Given the high costs of osteobiologics, this remains a topic of importance. The design of future studies on the subject should include cost effectiveness.

“…However, in these analyses, there is little or no cost analysis. Worldwide, several studies have been carried out to identify health costs and develop methods to improve this research, thus contributing to better decision making which is based on more reliable evidence [ 18 , 19 , 20 ]. However, to date, a systematic review has not been undertaken.…”

An Integrated Cost Model Based on Real Patient Flow: Exploring Surgical Hospitalization

et al. 2022

Considering the gap observed in studies on health costs, this article aims to propose a cost calculation model for surgical hospitalization. A systematic literature review using PRISMA was conducted to map cost drivers adopted in similar studies and provide theoretical background. Based on the review, an integrated model considering real patient flow was developed using CHEERS guidelines. The micro-costing top-down method was adopted to develop the cost model allowing a balance between the accuracy of the information and the feasibility of the cost estimate. The proposed model fills two gaps in the literature: the standardization of a cost model and the ability to assess a vast number of different surgery costs in the same hospital. Flexibility stands out as an important advantage of the proposed model, as its application enables evaluation of elective and urgent surgeries of medium and high complexity performed in public and private hospitals. As a limitation, the hospital should have hospital information and cost systems implemented. The proposed cost model can provide important information that can result in better decision making. This becomes more relevant in public health, especially in low- and middle-income countries, which faces a lack of resources and whose positive effects can improve healthcare.
