We developed a method to minimize the number of cost drivers in the conventional Activity Based Costing (ABC) method using a specific evaluation function. This method selects the cost drivers that can be commonly applied to plural activities. It provides two advantages compared to the conventional ABC method: (1) it provides results that are as accurate as those of the conventional ABC method, and (2) it is simpler to perform complicated estimation of hospital costs. Using the newly proposed method, we estimated the cost of laboratory tests, and as a result, revealed that the number of cost drivers can be reduced from eight in the ABC method to four; similarly accurate results were obtained with the ABC method. Once we reduce the number of cost drivers by applying our method to the data for the ABC method, we can easily perform data collection and cost accounting using fewer cost drivers after the second time of costing.
