There are no published studies on the cost effectiveness of guideline implementation in Australia, though one study [ 15] assessed the costs of implementation of multi-disciplinary systematic care.
Given the cost effectiveness of SWH, implementation of such SWH policy and regulation would be sensible throughout the GCC in the very near term.
Cost effectiveness of the implementation strategy will be measured.
In this model, the duration of the effects of implementation is crucial for the cost-effectiveness of implementation, which will be investigated explicitly in this study.
Finally, we found very limited evidence on the cost-effectiveness of implementation strategies.
Limited evidence was found on the cost-effectiveness of implementation strategies (economic evaluations, eg, cost-effectiveness, costs benefit analyses were rare).
To determine cost-effectiveness of implementation, the costs of implementation will be weighed against the proportion of patients that is treated according to the ultra short stay programme.
- Policy cost-effectiveness of implementation of the ultra short stay programme versus 'doing nothing' is expressed as incremental costs per Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY).
4) the cost-effectiveness of implementation of the ultra short stay programme versus 'doing nothing' (policy cost-effectiveness). 5) the actual performance of the professionals in the test hospitals according to performance indicators.
