A system and method for tracking and reporting the flow of funds between participants
in an academic health center including a school of medicine, a hospital and a faculty
clinical practice. The participants identify transactions between the participants
and other entities. The participants then list all of the sources of funds and
uses of funds for each department within an participant. The lists are analyzed
to generate departmental sources of funds and uses of funds statements. The flow
of funds include normalized hidden sources of funds, such as unreimbursed expenses.
The lists are used to generate standardized and customized departmental statements.
Using the standardized departmental statements and participant statements, departmental
and participant ratios cab be generated. The ratios allow the participants to compare
the participant's departments with each other as well as with other participant's
departments and with other academic health centers.
