Description
A primary goal of the Clinical Center is to provide the services
necessary to support the intramural clinical research activities
of the NIH. The Clinical Center has developed a comprehensive
portfolio of services and products to meet this goal -- many
of the services are traditional hospital functions; however,
many of the services provided by the CC departments are unique
to the clinical research environment and responsive to the unique
needs of our Institutes' customers. In an effort to enhance customer
knowledge of and access to this wide range of services, a formulary
of available clinical services will be developed and maintained.
This formulary will be closely linked to the activity-based costing
system under development.
Accomplishments-to-Date
- Survey distributed to all CC departments requesting detailed
listing of clinical and research support services
- Draft list of services and products linked to ABC system
- Template for responses created and distributed to departments
FY2000 Goals
- Develop and maintain currency of Clinical Service Formulary
