Abstract

Background: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a severe shock to the world economy and, consequently, healthcare systems. Objectives: The current study aimed to investigate changes in costs and revenues of an Iranian hospital before and after the COVID-19 pandemic to answer the following question: "How can Hospital Costs and revenues change during the COVID-19 pandemic? " Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted retrospectively at the Masih Daneshvari Hospital in 2020. Accounting software available at the hospital (Azarakhsh for salary costs and PMQ for medical equipment costs) was used to collect cost information. Also, the hospital information system software was used to collect revenue information. The 2019 financial year was considered the base year, and the period February-August 2020 was considered the COVID-19 outbreak period. The data were entered into Excel software and analyzed using descrip: tive statistics methods. Results: Before the COVID-19 outbreak, the Masih Daneshvari Hospital was facing many cost problems, and the new crisis added to the severity of the problems. In total, the hospital’, s revenue declined by 9%, and its costs increased by 70%. Therefore, in the fiscal year ending in March 2020, the hospital balance was reported to be $-607, 143 (-68, 000 million Iranian Rial). Conclusions: The soaring healthcare expenditures revealed that the hospital was not ready to deal with the disease. As the COVID-19 outbreak grows rapidly in Iran, there is a pressing need to increase medical capacities and inpatient beds to treat infected patients. Hospitals in the country face financial problems and should be supported by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education.
