What is a
Top Services by Charges Dashboard
? Service Charges Dashboards are considered revenue analysis tools and are used by CFOs and hospital executives to analyze differences between service charges versus the billed and collected amounts. Some of the main functionality in this type of dashboard is that it provides analysis from two perspectives: 1) Top 10 services ranked and compared to billed and collected amounts, and 2) Quarter by quarter comparison of charges, billings and collections. The user can choose period and year on the top of the dashboard to filter the charts. You find an example of this type of dashboard below.
Purpose of
Service Charges Dashboards Healthcare organizations use Service Charges Dashboards to give managers a clear picture of the amounts charged for different services versus what the organization actually bills and eventually collects from patients and insurance companies. When used as part of good business practices in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) departments, an organization can improve its revenues by improving related strategies and processes, and it can reduce the chances that the ratio of collected to charged amounts deteriorate.
