Study Notes
- In HSIIs, measuring process measures is often more feasible and accurate than measuring patient health outcomes.
- It can be difficult to determine the cost of HSIIs due to lack of fidelity and protective commercial interests.
- Prospective data collection is the most accurate method for determining intervention costs.
- Assumptions need to be stated explicitly in the evaluation report.
- Costing of effects for medical error reduction can be complex and involve multiple health outcomes.
- Economic impact from the societal perspective may be difficult to calculate in low-income settings.
- Primary data collection can be expensive and challenging.
- Epidemiological modeling can be used to relate process measures to health outcomes.
- The Lives Saved Tool (LiST) offers estimates for many priority health interventions.
- Sensitivity analysis and Monte Carlo simulation can be used to address uncertainty in the link between processes and outcomes.
