The NHS, with encouragement from DH, is implementing patient-level information and costing systems (PLICS).
The broad benefits of patient-level information costing systems are:
- service-level economics reporting
- an understanding of the variations and their causes within services
- a major improvement in clinical ownership of resource decisions
- provision of information to enable improved HRG classification and
- improved funding policy and evidence-based analysis in discussions with commissioners.
Definition
Patient-level information and costing systems can be defined by the ability to measure the resources consumed by individual patients.
