Price Point In the Name of Hospital Transparency

The (WHA) Wisconsin Hospital Association employs the Wisconsin Price Point System within the WHA Information Center.  The WHA Information Center is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Wisconsin Hospital Association.

The Wisconsin Hospital Association Information Center operates from 5510 Research Park Drive, Madison Wisconsin 53711.  Contracted since 2003 with the Department of Administration to collect information.  A user friendly web platform with a design that demonstrates accountability for transparency. 

This facilitates the distribution of current, accurate information related to charges and services being delivered through Wisconsin Hospitals and Ambulatory Surgery Centers.   A care manager can speculate on the expected investment a client with worsening symptoms of pneumonia will experience.  Listing an average inpatient stay with a diagnosis of pneumonia as 3.2 days.  The average daily charge being 6,173.00.  The average total charge being 19,912.00. 

This gives the community a better understanding of the revenue a 3 day hospital stay can generate. 
Connecting service provided to the expense generated can help long term health planners determine safe and sound policy directed at containing over all cost. 

The identified trend is shorter hospital inpatient stays and more treatments and procedures performed in the outpatient clinic setting.  Outpatient specialty delivery settings and processes are consistently being improved to maintain productive and safe operation.
