German term or phrase: Kalkulationskrankenhaus
'Neues Entgeltsystem für psychiatrische Behandlung: Ergebnisse aus einem Kalkulationskrankenhaus.'

Anyone heard of this term before? I only fund "spreadsheet hospital" but it's not very convincing!

Thanks!

Explanation:
A hospital, whose expenses may be taken as standard for benchmarking other hospital. I'm not sure that an equivalent term exists in EN and would recommend to explain this 'invented' term in the footer or in parentheses. You may also ask the client for explanation.

agree  Darin Fitzpatrick: Or "benchmark hospital." Same idea - the "cost-calculating" part belongs in an explanation rather than being translated literally.

cost-assessment hospital


Explanation:
Dokumente für Kalkulationskrankenhäuser


An der Kostenkalkulation interessierte Krankenhäuser senden bitte eine Kalkulationsvereinbarung in zweifacher Ausfertigung unterschrieben an das InEK. Bitte fügen Sie der Vereinbarung unbedingt eine ausgefüllte Checkliste bei. Ohne Checkliste ist eine Entscheidung über die Teilnahme an der Kalkulation nicht möglich.
Die Einzelkostenzurechnung teurer Sachgüter ist für die in Anlage 10 zum Kalkulationshandbuch genannten Artikel verbindlich durchzuführen. Sofern für die dort aufgeführten Artikel ein Klinisches Verteilungsmodell (KVM) zur Verwendung zugelassen wird, muss dieses dem InEK vor der Kalkulation zur Genehmigung vorgelegt werden. Verwenden Sie bitte zu diesem Zweck das KVM-Infoblatt. Beachten Sie dabei bitte die der Datei beigefügten Ausfüllhinweise. Die aktuelle Fassung der Anlage 10 finden Sie auch in der Datei KVM-Infoblatt. Kalkulationsdatensätze, die auf Verwendung nicht genehmigter klinischer Verteilungsmodelle basieren, werden vom InEK nicht akzeptiert.

neutral  Johannes Gleim: I don't think that this hospital has been assessed, but that it serves to assess other hospitals or to participate in common cost assessment conducted inside of the InEK resulting in an average cost per treatment. See http://www.g-drg.de/cms/Das_Institut

  -> I think you're right and "benchmark" is a good way to go
