Annual Filing Modernization Workgroups
Main_Content
In fall 2023, the HSCRC began undertaking a 3-year Annual Filing Modernization project to accomplish the following goals:
- Modernize policies and templates used for gathering data on provider costs, population health resources, and various cost centers.
- Revise the cost allocation framework to enable centralized application of consistent allocation algorithms across all Maryland hospitals.
- Perform a complete review and update of the Accounting and Budget Manual to reflect current policy and practice and achieve greater user utility.
- Assemble a set of comprehensive web-based tools for Maryland hospitals to utilize in completing and submitting their future Annual Filings.
As part of this process, the HSCRC has designed a series of surveys in order to understand current reporting structures and initial conceptual considerations for the revisions. The goal of the surveys is to understand the current status of cost and revenue reporting focusing on clinicians, overhead cost centers, allocation methods, and population health initiatives.
In addition, the HSCRC will be conducting a series of workgroups and trainings. Details are below.
