Evaluators should assess student performance, determine program and cost effectiveness, monitor quality to include technology and support services, evaluate course design and instruction, and ascertain teacher and student satisfaction.
Upon presenting participants with the summary of available evidence on the case studies, most stated that the provided evidence lacked information on cost-effectiveness, monitoring and evaluation, quality of services and patient satisfaction as well as context-specific information.
Research studies have shown mixed findings in relation to the cost effectiveness of monitoring oral coagulations [ 44].
Based on the findings of this review, we recommend that handwashing programmes should be implemented nationwide, their effectiveness monitored, and their cost effectiveness evaluated.
To address these issues, we developed a decision analysis model which includes these factors and used that model to study the cost-effectiveness of monitoring LVEF with MUGA scanning during doxorubicin chemotherapy.
This analysis of the cost effectiveness of ART monitoring strategies in Africa, which uses empirical data from an ART monitoring trial, found that adding routine monitoring of CD4 cell counts to clinical monitoring was more cost effective than the further addition of viral load monitoring.
ART in sub-Saharan Africa costs $500 to $1000 per disability adjusted life year (DALY) averted Previous estimates of the cost effectiveness of laboratory monitoring relied on computer simulation models and varied widely Adding routine monitoring of CD4 count costs $174 per DALY averted, less than for ART.
These findings are within the range of modelled cost effectiveness of ART monitoring in Africa.
Previous analyses on the cost effectiveness of different monitoring strategies for ART were based on mathematical models and assumed benefits and suggested a wide range in cost effectiveness.
As the cost effectiveness of remote monitoring systems has not been widely studied, new evaluations of their economic value are needed.
Large multicenter studies are now needed to evaluate the effects and cost effectiveness of continuous glucose monitoring on maternal glycemic control and pregnancy outcomes.
