Abstract: | On the basis of documentary analysis and interviews with decision makers, this paper discusses the cost accounting methodologies
used for price setting of inpatient services in the Hungarian health care system focusing on sector of acute inpatient care,
which is financed through the Hungarian adaptation of Diagnosis Related Groups since 1993. Hungary has a quite sophisticated
DRG system, which had a deep impact on the efficiency of the acute inpatient care sector. Nevertheless, the system requires
continuous maintenance, where the cooperation of hospitals, as well as the minimisation of political influence are critical
success factors. |
