Hello all!

Our customer is planning to maintain the standards, that define the standard working time of doctors and nurses for performing medical service/

This standards will be involved in proccess of costing services or cases.

Is the any universal standard exist that define the measure unit for time standard for medical service perfoming (minutes, hours, 10-minutes intervals?

What measure units are used in time standards for medical services in Europe? for example?

Thank you

Best Regards

Hi Olga

In Latinamerica we create a new quantity column of the service catalog used only to store cost related values, like standard duration of services.

You should define a non monetary column and store the how many minutes is the standard duration of the service using transaction NT01 or NT02.

Then, in Controlling for hospitals, the service is asigned to a CO Activity in transaction NCOB where you relate the service column with the CO Actiivity.

I hope it helps.

With best regards

Hi Olga,

in europe the unit of minutes is used usually for service duration. Mostly you can find several services for one treament in the service master for different durations (e.g. normal treatment, time consuming treatment because of adiposis, heavy injured, etc.). This helps the user during registration pretty much.
