MedCons_Normcore
Build and manage technical procedures and economic-technical norms for every medical service – a sound basis for costing, setting service prices and controlling resource use.
To set prices for medical services – especially on-demand services – hospitals need detailed norms for drugs, supplies, reagents, staffing, procedure time and equipment depreciation for every service. In practice, this is usually done by hand across hundreds of spreadsheets, which are hard to update when procedures or input prices change and hard to compare against actual usage.
MedCons_Normcore connects technical procedures – norms – costs in a single system. Each service is described step by step and linked to its consumption and resource norms; when supply prices, salaries or equipment change, service costs are recalculated automatically, so the hospital can set and adjust prices proactively.
Key features
Technical procedure library
Create and version technical procedures for each service: steps, staff involved, time and required conditions.
Consumption norms
Norms for drugs, supplies, reagents and biologicals per service, linked directly to the catalogue and actual unit prices.
Staffing & time norms
Define staff numbers, qualifications and procedure time to allocate salary and allowance costs.
Depreciation & overheads
Allocate equipment depreciation, utilities, upkeep and other indirect costs using defined allocation criteria.
Service costing
Consolidate the cost structure and unit cost of each service; simulate pricing scenarios as inputs change.
Approval files & reconciliation
Export spreadsheets and explanatory notes for pricing submissions; compare norms with actual usage from operational data.
Benefits
- A sound basis for service prices: costs are calculated transparently from norms and input prices.
- Fast updates: change a supply price, salary or procedure once and the entire price list is recalculated.
- Clinical standardisation: consistent technical procedures across departments that double as training and quality-monitoring materials.
- Resource-use control: spot gaps between norms and actual use and correct them promptly.
- Backed by expert consulting: the Medcons team has experience developing norms and service prices for public healthcare facilities.
