Patient-level information and costing system PLICS were rolled out by NHS improvements in 2015, In 2018, half of the providers in healthcare submitted PLICS, and by this year all providers were required to implement PLICS.

Through patient-level information and costing systems, healthcare costing is going through a massive transformation moving from costing based on average costing to costing the actual care individual patients receive. Allow healthcare institutions to understand the costs of treating patients daily including analysis of cost by the actual activities that the patient has consumed.

PLICS uses the same data sources of reference costs, but instead of generating average costs, it breaks down costs by the individual patient, allowing trust to identify any variation in the care received. By calculating the cost for each part of the care provided for each individual, e.g. doctor and nurse time, equipment, pharmacy, and pathology.

These are early days for Patient-level information and costing system PLICS, but we can see that the benefits to patients and hospitals could be huge:

• – Implementation of costs: PLICS develops and implements one single national cost selection to replace current multiple selections.

• – Calculate Revenue: PLICS can calculate public and private revenue using business rules to reflect complex terms and conditions.

• – Integration with applications: It can integrate with many different applications via data connector and can connect with MS office to easily create high-quality reports and presentations through PowerPoint, Excel, and word office.

• – Performance improvement: Monitoring hospital performance through regularly generated reports that are distributed by email.
