Secondary outcomes include body weight, physical activity, medication use, cost, resource utilization, and safety.
Formal methods-based optimization approaches often rely on studying the relationships among the service's workload, deadline, cost, resource utilization, etc.
Administrative claims data provide an avenue to meet the need for health care costs, resource utilization, and outcome information.
Ideal solutions should provide a good compromise between production costs (resource utilization, delivery costs) and tolerance to stochastic perturbations (transport delays).
To examine costs, resource utilization, adherence, and hypoglycemic events among various doses of U-100 insulin regimens among elderly patients (age ≥65 years) diagnosed with diabetes.
For each country, per-patient costs were calculated by applying local unit costs (from the payer perspective) to each resource used: exenatide bid/insulin costs, OAD medication costs, resource utilization costs, and SMBG costs.
It should be noted, however, that cross-national comparisons of program costs are difficult to interpret as these depend heavily on labor costs, resource utilization, and other costs which are country specific.
It may be informative to also objectively assess mission costs including airline and lodging costs, resource utilization, as well as forfeited wages on the parts of the mission personnel for the participation in the mission.
This study examined the associations between a patient's highest daily mean dose of insulin over 90 days and direct medical costs, resource utilization, adherence, and probability of a hypoglycemic event.
Costs A distinction will be made between intervention costs and resource utilization costs.
Weaknesses of the study included no description of current Dutch care; lack of detailed reporting regarding cost components, unit costs, and resource utilization; and lack of model calibration, face and internal model validity, and cross-model validity.
