Evaluates investments in resources

The InHCc System provides sufficient data that breakeven analysis may be easily undertaken. By knowing the optimum investment amount, the benefit-cost can be increased.

As an example, a very low percentage of the “proportion of health facilities that did not experience drug stock-outs” is a sign of very poor management. It is impossible for every facility to carry every drug at all times and they should not be expected to do so. This is a waste of resources (overstocking of inventory requires additional money). 

Another example is “what is the best size of clinic to build”. Are organizations building clinics that are too small? Even though they may be nearer to the clinic, very often these clinics are not viewed as providing quality care (they do not have in house labs, x-ray machines, or medical specialists). With proper analysis, based on the target population, the clinic that best serves the needs of that population can be built, equipped, and staffed.
