The Finance and Accounts Department has been an integral part of the Christian Institute of Health Sciences & Research since this society was founded. It was part of the founding of the hospital, and later, in the establishment of the College of Nursing, and also, the beginning of the Allied Health Sciences. It lends its support to all constructions and expansion of infrastructural facilities for enhancing CIHSR services: the buildings, wards, College of Nursing, the Staff Hostel, the Students’ Hostel, and the Staff Quarters.
The billing staffs are the ones who are the first contact persons for the patients who come for medical services. The less visible accounts team supports the billing team.
The accounts department occupies an inconspicuous corner of the Administrative Block.
Finance and accounts are the stewards of the financial resources of CIHSR. At present, 14 billing staff and 5 staff in accounts make up the Finance and Accounts department.
As one among the first contacts for patients, billing staff are responsible for the most important task of collecting the patients’ data. They also collect the fees and other charges. Having done this, they direct the patients to the doctors/consultants or other diagnostic areas. They also prepare the bills for consumables, collect the money, and facilitate the flow of treatment process.
The accounts and finance staff receive the collections from the billing staff, receive proceeds of other charges/fees, including fees of institutions like the College of Nursing. They maintain the accounts, do banking work, make payments, compile and submit finance-related statements to stakeholders and statutory authorities. Budget making, audit management, tax and statutory compliances are some of the crucial functions of the accounts and finance.
