Clinicost Engine Clinical Costing Software for Abu Dhabi Healthcare
A clinical costing platform and healthcare costing software for Abu Dhabi providers. Transform clinical, financial, and operational data into auditable patient-level costing, activity-based cost allocation, WIP reconciliation, and DOH Shafafiya submission outputs.
The Gold Standard for Clinical Costing in Abu Dhabi
Cyscode is the first company to build a full-fledged clinical costing software with end-to-end support expertise for Abu Dhabi compliance. Clinicost Engine is the gold standard for clinical costing in the UAE, combining automated patient level costing, activity-based cost allocation, 65+ validation rules, and direct Shafafiya submission in a single platform.
Clinicost Engine is the only application that calculates RVUs (Relative Value Units) automatically. Manual RVU calculation cannot produce exact costing. By automating RVU computation, Clinicost Engine ensures precise, reproducible cost allocation across every procedure, encounter, and patient.
One clinical costing platform for costing governance, validation, reconciliation, and DOH submission readiness.
Costing Model
Configure cost buckets, cost centers, allocation drivers, and costing logic at encounter, patient, and activity levels.
Validation Layer
Run built-in data quality checks before XML generation, reconciliation, and Shafafiya submission.
DOH Outputs
Generate traceable reporting outputs, WIP, reconciliation information, and resubmission mechanism.
What is Abu Dhabi Clinical Costing?
Abu Dhabi Clinical Costing is a regulatory framework introduced by the Department of Health (DOH) Abu Dhabi to measure, analyze, and report the actual cost of delivering healthcare services across hospitals and providers in the Emirate.
It enables facilities to calculate the true cost of patient care through encounter-level and patient level costing, linking financial expenses, clinical activities, and patient encounters into a standardized model that supports data-driven healthcare funding, pricing transparency, and value-based healthcare.
Why clinical costing was introduced in Abu Dhabi
The DOH framework addresses four critical challenges in healthcare financial management across the Emirate.
Healthcare Cost Transparency
A transparent method for calculating service costs, so regulators and providers clearly understand how healthcare resources are consumed.
Value-Based Healthcare
As Abu Dhabi shifts to value-based models, clinical costing measures cost per treatment and supports better reimbursement structures.
Evidence-Based Policy Decisions
Reliable costing data helps policymakers analyze spending patterns and identify where healthcare delivery can be improved.
Standardized Costing Practices
Before ADCCG, hospitals used different methodologies. The framework ensures a consistent approach and accurate benchmarking across facilities.
What is the Clinicost Engine clinical costing platform?
The Clinicost Engine by Cyscode is an automated clinical costing software platform that transforms clinical and financial data into accurate, activity-based cost reports, enabling faster, traceable patient-level costing and stronger readiness for Abu Dhabi Clinical Costing Standards.
It streamlines patient level costing, healthcare cost allocation, WIP (Work-in-Progress) patient costing, validation, and Shafafiya submission, helping providers improve costing governance, financial transparency, and DOH compliance readiness.

Performing Abu Dhabi clinical costing with Clinicost Engine
From raw data upload to DOH Shafafiya submission, Clinicost Engine automates every step of the Abu Dhabi clinical costing workflow.
Clinical data upload
Extract the clinical data from EMR or claims for the costing year, populate the Clinicost template with encounter details, procedure codes, and ICD codes, then upload. Built-in validation ensures alignment with the Abu Dhabi Clinical Costing Standards.
Financial data upload
Extract expense data from your finance ledger / GL system, populate the standardized expense template with cost categories (salaries, rent, consumables, etc.), and upload for processing.
Design & configuration
Define products, configure recipes (bill of resources), create 15+ direct and overhead cost buckets as standard, with the option to create custom buckets. Map cost centers and configure allocation drivers, fully aligned with ADCCG.
Automated cost distribution
Execute the allocation engine to distribute direct costs to procedures and patients, and overhead costs using driver-based allocation. Supports step-down and reciprocal methods per DOH requirements.
65+ compliance checks
65+ built-in validation rules and DOH-specific checks identify missing allocations, data inconsistencies, and compliance gaps, ensuring readiness for Abu Dhabi clinical costing submission.
DOH submission
Generate XML files, configure batch settings (for example, 300 claims per batch or 1000 claims per batch), upload to Shafafiya with your facility credentials, validate, submit, and monitor submission status, all within the platform.
Final compliance step
Generate DOH reconciliation reports comparing total expenses vs allocated costs, handle Opening and Closing WIP patient costing, attach CFO attestation, and submit the reconciliation to DOH via the official channel.

Frequently asked questions
Our pricing reflects the value, security, and compliance we deliver, not just the software itself. In a domain like clinical costing, where sensitive healthcare and financial data is involved, maintaining regulatory-compliant infrastructure, strong encryption standards, and secure data handling practices is essential, not optional.
While there may be lower-cost alternatives in the market, they often come with trade-offs in areas that matter most: data security, regulatory alignment, and long-term reliability. We believe healthcare providers deserve a solution that not only performs accurately but also protects their data, ensures compliance, and builds trust at every stage.
