FOR DATA PROCESSING FOR RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL HOSPITALS (31) The Medical Director of the Research and Educational Hospitals and the Chancellor at the Medical Center recommend the execution of an agreement with American Medical Computer Centers, Inc. to handle the data processing of patient billing and accounts receivable for the hospital at a cost of thirty-one cents per patient day and thirty-nine cents per active patient account receivable each month, as well as equipment rental charges of $1,000 per month for on-line data processing. The hospital needs to have data immediately, which the AMCC, Inc. can provide, in order to produce the detail to substantiate costs for Medicare and other insurance companies. The hospital plans to implement internal studies to transfer this program within the next two years to equipment in the Office of Administrative Data Processing. It is estimated that this program will increase hospital costs by $71,930 per year after an implementation cost of $20,000 and that this cost will be more than offset by increased income. The Vice President and Comptroller recommends approval. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r . P o g u e , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d by the following vote: Aye, M r .
