2011 National Cost Framework for Hospitals

This database provides the 2011 average costs of hospital stays in medicine, surgery, obstetrics and odontology (MCO) in public health institutions. This benchmark is in the form of a cost scale organised according to the classification (v11e) of homogeneous groups of patients (GHM). The average costs were calculated on the basis of data from the National Common Methodology Cost Study (ENCC) for the 2011 activity. This benchmark was developed from a sample of 73 health facilities, rectified with national data collected by the Medical Information Systems Program (PMSI). In addition to access to the detailed bases of average costs, it is possible to consult summary sheets according to different categories of activity: major diagnostic category (CMD), sub-CMD, root and GHM. On these fiches, the cost developments compared to the financial year 2010 are specified. A summary document “Main results from the 2011 benchmark” details the main results of the cost data assessed from the 2011 data and their evolution compared to 2010. After a general presentation, the results are analysed by CMD, activity, severity levels, etc. In addition, two guides make it easier to read and understand this information: — “Practical Reference Guide 2011”, which lists the detailed data of the repository and explains the access to the data and the use of the different tabs. — ‘Referential Technical Guide 2011’, which sets out the methods for calculating the average cost and the associated statistical indicators.
