Costing systems

Our Cumulus Cost software delivers automated monthly allocation of costs to patients, automated monthly allocation of revenue to patients, and powerful business insights - at an affordable cost to your healthcare service.

We can offer to train your staff to operate and maintain our system, or alternatively, we can offer costing as a service, where we free your resources up to analyse the data and generate valuable insights.

Cloud-based systems

We are partnering with Cloud Service Providers, to enable cloud hosting. Not only does this lower IT costs, but enables superior encryption for data, combined with two-factor authentication, ensures strong data security and peace of mind.

Upon request we can install our system on local hardware.

Artificial Intelligence

Utilising Cloud Solutions opens additional Business Analytics and Artificial Intelligence system capabilities to ensure clients can run insightful queries on their data.

Costing Standards and Guidance

Our system is built to align your costs to any costing standards related to your country. This saves on implementation time and cost. If your country has specific guidance with regard to the submission of cost data, we will automate the reporting functions associated with the submission.

A system built for you

Cumulus Casemix

Our Cumulus Casemix software is a revolutionary new tool that allows the indexation and classification of patient activity into meaningful data for analysis against the DRG Casemix across the group.

The system is built on a monthly activity data feed and offers insights into areas of coding and income that might be under or over recovered for the organisation.

System Deployment Flexibility

The Cumulus Casemix system can be deployed in the cloud, an onsite server or directly on a local machine for absolute flexibility of deployment according to individual needs.

This is possible while maintaining the full analytical capabilities and system speed.



DRG Version

The system can be configured to any DRG Clinical Codeset globally for flexible deployment in the country of your choice.

Benchmarking

The system can have multiple benchmarks and averages loaded in, allowing for analysis against different targets within the same model. This flexibility allows for more detailed, targeted analysis within 1 set of clinical casemix data. These benchmarks can be flexed within the dataset using fields that exist such as specialty, site or clinician as applicable.

Financial Impact

Revenue comparisons can be made for the different Clinical Casemixes present, to compare potential loss or over recovery of charges within the hospital.

This can be analysed by global level, as well as looking at the different departments, services, sites or providers as applicable within the data for more meaningful insights into the Clinical Casemix and its impact on revenue (Provider) or cost (Payer)
