DOH Clinical Cost Analysis & Reporting

Abu Dhabi's clinical costing landscape has changed. The Department of Health now requires every licensed healthcare facility providing direct patient care to submit patient-level cost data annually through the Shafafiya portal. This is not a one-off exercise. It is a fundamental shift in how healthcare finance operates in the emirate, directly tied to the transition toward value-based healthcare and DRG-based funding models.

Many providers, from single-specialty clinics to multi-site hospital groups, struggle with fragmented financial systems, inconsistent cost center mapping, and unreliable overhead allocation methodologies. Without structured cost intelligence, facilities cannot determine whether a given DRG payment covers their actual cost of care, generates margin, or represents a loss.

Alpha Health Group's clinical cost analysis and reporting consulting addresses this directly. Our teams work on-site with your finance, clinical, and IT departments to map general ledger structures to DOH-compliant cost ledgers, align cost centers with standardized reporting groups, validate patient-level cost allocations, perform reconciliation against audited financials, and prepare submission-ready datasets for the Shafafiya portal. Whether you are preparing for your first submission cycle or need to resolve validation errors from a prior attempt, our consultants bring deep familiarity with the Abu Dhabi Clinical Costing Standard, the accompanying guidelines, and the regulatory expectations behind them.
