Introduction Brazil's independence takes place in a relatively short period of time. Which can be officially placed between February 18, 1822 and March 8, 1824, which, compared to other wars of independence in different parts of the world, we can say that it is smaller, and also comparing the way it is carried out After this independence, we can say that, although the conflict was not totally peaceful, it was a less bloody war, in comparison with the majority of the wars of the other Spanish-American countries.

Dr. Julian would like to control her departments costs by having them distributed fairly among the divisions without affecting the hospital’s reimbursement/revenue. Carroll University Hospital is currently using the standard costing unit, which is based on the cost of bed/day for inpatients.
