Cost containment refers to strategies and practices aimed at controlling and limiting the growth of expenses within an organization without necessarily cutting existing budgets outright. It is commonly used in healthcare administration, corporate finance, and operations management to keep spending in line with targets, such as controlling rising healthcare premiums or supply chain costs. Cost containment tends to focus on managing cost growth over time rather than immediate reductions.
