Strategi Pengendalian Biaya Rumah Sakit Islam Pati Berbasis Tarif INA-CBGs

Abstract

The discrepancy between INA-CBG’s rates and actual hospital costs remains a pressing issue. This study aims to formulate optimal cost-control strategies at Rumah Sakit Islam Pati in response to the gap between operational expenses and the INA-CBG’s reimbursement system. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study design, the research involved 11 informants from various hospital units. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis, and analyzed thematically. The findings revealed five key strategies: workflow optimization, implementation of electronic medical records, application of Lean Hospital principles, need-based resource allocation, and mitigation of internal and external barriers. The study highlights that successful cost control depends heavily on system integration, cross-unit coordination, and a culture of efficiency within the hospital. The study concludes that cost-control strategies must be comprehensive, collaborative, and adaptive to policy dynamics related to INA-CBG’s rates.
