What is driver-based budgeting in healthcare?
Driver-based budgeting in healthcare uses operational metrics to build more accurate financial plans and forecasts.

By connecting budget assumptions to operational activity, healthcare providers can better align financial planning with organizational goals and improve forecast accuracy.
