What is
a
Profit & Loss Report with KPIs
? Profit & Loss (P&L) reports with KPIs are considered powerful monthly management analysis tools and are used by CFOs and other executives to analyze both financial and operational performance in a single view. Some of the main functionality in this type of dashboard report is that it uses parameters so the user can run it for any month and one or many facilities. The top section shows two KPIs: 1) Total admits and 2) Average patient charge. The middle section shows summary P&L rows and each row can be expanded to see the underlying general ledger (GL) accounts and amounts. The bottom of the report displays additional KPIs for Discharges and RVUs, as well as two charts for graphical analysis. You find an example of this type of dashboard report below.
