HDS feels the Med-Link system is particularly attractive for small to medium size facilities because we offer a powerful PC based Cost Accounting and Budgeting package and consulting, without the need for additional personnel, at a very competitive price. HDS also offers the option of adding our Flexible Budgeting and/or Case Mix module(s) as part of the Cost Accounting system implementation, or at any future date convenient for your staff.
Since it was first introduced in 1983, Med-Link has been successfully implemented in a wide
range of Healthcare environments. This proven system has been continually enhanced to meet
the needs of the changing healthcare industry. By integrating the cost data with your medical
records and case mix systems, a number of patient level cost/margin reports can be produced,
including DRG analysis, physician summaries, etc. As a result, significant additional value is
added to your existing systems. Med-Link addresses the specific needs of the medical
community - it is not just an adaptation of another industry cost system. Therefore, the system
fits the dynamic healthcare environment.
The system is very flexible. Not only do medical facilities vary widely from one to another, even
departments within those facilities vary widely in their cost behavior patterns, availability of
information, need for cost analysis, etc. The Med-Link system is adaptable and supports a wide
variety of costing approaches, including:
Detailed engineered standards
Multiple relative value units
Ratio of cost to charges
External integration involves being able to
communicate
effectively with other systems
