dc.description.abstractThe objective of this study is to conduct a cost benefit analysis of computerization in hospitals. This was done with the help of a marginal cost analysis between computerized hospitals and control hospitals with manual procedures still in use, across three countries: Pakistan, Philippines and Afghanistan. The cost structure for the program was calculated using the marginal costing methodology. It was found that computerizing certain laboratory testing procedures significantly reduced the cost-per test figures for each of the four types of tests we investigated. Our analysis concludes that computerizing the testing process at hospitals significantly reduces per-test costs.en
