By means of cost analysis, profit and loss statement of the hospitals can be calculated best. Thus, the strategic decisions such as determining the number of the patients with the hospital administration and increasing the investment on certain areas of expertise can be taken. The health care services provided in the hospitals are diverse and not homogeneous. Each patient is provided with different treatment. This situation makes it difficult to calculate patient-based cost accounts.
