Announcing a new publication from MSH
-------------------------------------
Announcing publication of "HOSPICAL: A Tool for Allocating Hospital
Costs" from Management Sciences for Health.
Hospital managers, policymakers, and provincial health officers can
use HOSPICAL to analyze current costs and revenue. They can also make
plans to improve a hospital's performance and enhance its sustain-
ability. The tool consists of a user's guide and an electronic
spreadsheet file that allows managers to allocate resource costs to
individual hospital departments; measure the performance of depart-
ments; compare revenue with costs; compare costs among hospitals; and
set cost standards based on high-performing hospitals.
Funding for this publication was provided by the U.S. Agency for In-
ternational Development under the APHIA Financing and Sustainability
(AFS) Project. You may learn more about the AFS project at:

Single copies of HOSPICAL are free of charge to institutions in Asia,
Latin America, and Africa. Funds received from sales in North Amer-
ica, Western Europe, Japan, and Australia support reprinting and dis-
tribution of our publications in 180 countries. Browse and order our

Please forward this message to colleagues who might be interested in
