What is Clinical Costing?
Clinical costing is the bridge between your Finance System (ERP) and your Health Information System (HIS). We link expenses from your general ledger to patient-related activities, then allocate those costed activities to the patients who consume them.
Examples of costed patient activities include medical interventions, ward time, operating room procedures, pharmacy drugs dispensed, laboratory tests, imaging tests, and other diagnostic tests.
Why Invest in Clinical Costing?
Clinical cost data, when combined with patient revenue, gives providers the ability to understand profit and loss at all levels — by patient encounter, responsible doctor, classification (DRG, Procedure, CPT), doctor specialty, and facility.
It also helps healthcare providers make informed business decisions around service configuration, and identify and eliminate inefficiencies in patient care — freeing up resources to treat more patients and generate more revenue.
How It Works
Data Integration
Connect your existing hospital information systems — Cumulus Cost ingests financial, clinical, and operational data automatically.
Cost Allocation
Our engine allocates costs and revenue to individual patients using proven methodologies aligned with international costing standards.
Insights & Reporting
Access powerful Power BI dashboards showing cost drivers, service line profitability, and regulatory reporting outputs ready for submission.
Flexible Delivery
We recognise that clinical costing is a niche skill. We therefore offer an end-to-end managed service for your costing needs until your organisation is ready to undertake the costing process itself. Our offering is split into two components: running the system under “Costing as a Service” and Cumulus Acumen, our healthcare-specific costing system.
Our subscription model has no fixed lock-in contracts, ensuring we maintain a high level of motivation to provide exceptional service. The platform can be hosted in the cloud or on premises. Multi-language support available including Arabic and Hindi.
Security & Compliance
Two-factor authentication enforced for system access. All data is anonymised (no PII) and securely stored in an enterprise database. NDA, security, and confidentiality policies are signed off with all employees and partners.
