Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to present the possibilities of using target costing in hospitals. Hospitals as research subjects frequently use traditional costing systems, which makes it difficult to manage costs in the current system of reimbursement of health services. The analysis of the system allows to specify a different tool to help manage costs including possible to obtain revenues from ongoing health benefits.
