Resources are limited, HAS’s need to make the best use of cost per output and cost per outcome. HAS’s are usually not for-profit and perform social service for the benefit of society. Hence value for money is important so that public funds/donations get their real worth- or the HAS’s would be wasting money and then the public will stop donating. Cost per outcome and cost per output tell their over head for services. HAS’s are going to need donations to cover these costs.

I nee more words though on what are cost per output and cost per out come calculation valuable to a human service agency?
