Purpose of Service Charges Dashboards Healthcare organizations use Service Charges Dashboards to give managers a clear picture of the amounts charged for different services versus what the organization actually bills and eventually collects from patients and insurance companies. When used as part of good business practices in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) departments, an organization can improve its revenues by improving related strategies and processes, and it can reduce the chances that the ratio of collected to charged amounts deteriorate.
