In an era of rising healthcare costs, evolving regulations, and value-based care models, precise financial control is more important than ever. Across Abu Dhabi’s healthcare ecosystem, providers are being challenged to improve outcomes while keeping costs under control. One of the most powerful tools enabling this transformation is clinical costing software.
At Young & Right, we work with hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers across Abu Dhabi and the UAE to implement fully compliant, DOH-approved clinical costing frameworks. Our solutions help clients meet Department of Health (DOH) mandates, align with Shafafiya, and achieve greater visibility into their healthcare revenue cycle management—from patient-level costing to enterprise-wide financial strategy.
Clinical costing software is a purpose-built financial system for healthcare institutions. It allows hospitals, clinics, and accounting teams to calculate, track, and analyze the true cost of patient care at a granular level. Unlike general accounting software, it doesn’t just summarize department budgets, but it provides activity-based insights into every consultation, diagnosis, procedure, and clinical resource.
By using Activity-Based Costing (ABC) and Patient-Level Information Costing System (PLICs) methodologies, the software allocates both direct costs (staff salaries, consumables, medication) and indirect costs (utilities, equipment depreciation, admin time) accurately. The result? A detailed cost ledger for every patient, service, and department.
The UAE’s clinical costing framework is driven by DOH mandates which requires patient-level information costing (PLICS) and Shafafiya integration. For providers, this means:
Accurate clinical costing to differentiate profitable services from loss-making ones
Ability to benchmark performance against Abu Dhabi clinical costing standards and international best practices
Regulatory and operational compliance with DOH reporting requirements
Evidence-based cost justifications for insurance negotiations
By implementing a DOH-compliant clinical costing system, healthcare institutions not only achieve audit readiness but also improve resource efficiency, patient satisfaction, and long-term financial sustainability.
From data integration to cost allocation, real-time analysis, and DOH audit readiness, clinical costing software streamlines every step of healthcare financial management.
The software captures financial and clinical data from various systems, including:
ERP and EMR systems
Electronic Health Records (EHR)
Billing and payroll software
Pharmacy and inventory systems
From doctor consultations to lab tests and surgeries, each step in the healthcare service delivery chain is logged and monetized.
Using ABC models, the software maps actual usage of labor, resources, and consumables to:
Direct costs: e.g., drug administration, operating theatre time, radiologist hours
Indirect costs: e.g., energy use, IT support, facility maintenance
Costs are attributed to individual patients or procedures, creating accurate profiles.
Dashboards allow finance and clinical managers to monitor:
Procedure profitability
Departmental performance
Monthly cost trends
Patient-level cost outcomes
These insights are essential for bookkeeping, corporate tax registration, and cost-benefit analysis.
Clinical costing tools generate audit-ready reports tailored to DOH guidelines. They simplify:
Shafafiya submissions
Adherence to DOH Clinical Cost Data Collection Technical Documents
Preparation for inspections and cost transparency reviews
