To properly evaluate the potential contribution of point-of-care technology in the emergency department, including its cost-effectiveness, future evaluations of point-of-care platforms will need to be embedded completely within a local decision-making structure designed for its use.
The present paper presents an assessment of a few concepts that are expected to be promising for further increasing the cost effectiveness of future space mission operations, namely: on-board spacecraft autonomy and on-ground automation, commercial off-the-shelf control systems, multi-mission operation concepts, and hibernation modes.
With the improvement in shotcrete technology, advancement in tunneling equipment and cost and time effectiveness, future water tunnels built for hydropower projects will consist of rock support with the extensive use of shotcrete lining in combination with systematic bolting and concrete lining in the tunnel invert.
Last, BMSCs are easy to be expanded in vitro and to be genetically modified, which means convenience and cost effectiveness in the future preclinical or clinical applications.
Future cost effectiveness and other analyses will be crucial to assess the optimal use of the newer therapies.
We believe that the results of the present study can be used to inform the cost side of future cost effectiveness analyses, thereby supporting decision making about costly end-of-life treatment.
By exploring the 'black box' of the intervention, we aim to both gain an insight in (cost)effectiveness results and facilitate future implementation.
Just as it is common practice to report the outcome of data analysis as a point estimate with confidence intervals to indicate the precision of this estimate, it is common to report the projected incremental cost effectiveness ratios for a future pandemic with a sensitivity analysis indicating the robustness of this projection.
WHO/UNAIDS Cost Effectiveness and Delivery Study for Future HIV Vaccines, Brazil, Kenya, Peru, Thailand: Under the auspices of WHO/UNAIDS, research teams from five countries have initiated a study of HIV vaccine delivery costs and associated computer simulation modeling analyzing the relative cost-effectiveness of potential vaccination strategies for future HIV vaccination programs.
Trial results and cost effectiveness will be reported in future articles.
Cost effectiveness could be increased in future with less external technical support, as CTC is increasingly implemented through government services, and by reducing RUTF costs through local and larger scale production and sourcing of components.
