Budget Implementation
Vall d’Hebron University Hospital
¤593,546,038.64
Source: Economic and Organizational Management of the Catalan Health Institute.
In financial year 2011, the hospital’s total current expenses
were ¤590.4 million, which represents a reduction of ¤41.9
million compared to the previous financial year (-6.62%).
This reduction was made possible, on one hand, due to the
annualization of measures on the reduction of the public
payments authorized by the Spanish government in May
2010, and, on the other, as a result of a set of measures
implemented by hospital management as part of its gene-
ral plan for austerity and the adjustment of public spending
adopted by the Catalan government. These measures in-
clude the reorganization of care facilities and services, the
adjustment of the price of many service agreements, and
action taken in the management and dispensing of pharma-
ceutical products, along with the effects derived from the
measures to reduce the prices of these items, also authori-
zed by the Spanish government in the previous financial
year.
In 2011, different improvement actions were taken. Many
formed part of the austerity measures, such as those rela-
ted to the optimization of the prices and conditions of
many arrangements to purchase goods and services. More-
over, management of the prostheses implanted in the Trau-
ma Care and Rehabilitation Area was included in the Care
SAP, and the hospital participated actively in different ICS
corporate projects, such as the preparation and drafting of
the new Order on Public Prices and the development of the
functional design of the Cost System Project. The hospital
also participated in the design of the hospital’s new Ba-
lanced Scorecard for improving information systems for
management.
Other Construction Work Completed in 2011
Other construction work involved different repair work,
such as the work done in the Linen Service on the semi-
basement floor, the adaptation of the Stroke Area and the
Sound Unit (including the gym) on the second floor, major
repairs to the reverse osmosis system and other repairs in
the General Area, and remodelling in the area of the natu-
ral part of the Maternal/Child Area. In the area of equip-
ment, a mammography device was replaced.
