Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A four-physician group had developed a very successful practice model, but cost accounting was not well-developed as general ledger and accounts payable activities were performed using manual methods and financial statements were prepared on a spreadsheet program. The purpose of this case study is to describe the steps taken to develop a cost management system for the laboratory and the corrective action taken to reduce a loss from operations.
