Development of Cost Analysis Model using Hospital Database in Korea

Abstract

Abstract. Korea's national health insurance fee is taking Fee for Services based on Resource Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS), however, medical service suppliers are raising a question of national health insurance fee's low cost recovery rate. In this regard, our study reviewed hospital cost analysis methods in Europe, and drew a conclusion of cost analysis model which can be adaptable to hospitals in our country, especially through the study of Germany's cost analysis method. So we expect that, by complementing this cost analysis model, the empirical study using hospital's financial database is made, and then more reasonable standards will be suggested to be able to make a decision of suitable medical fee.
