Better coordination and communication between GP and medical specialist promises optimized medical treatment along with increased cost-effectiveness in primary care [ 7- 9].
In addition to increased cost effectiveness, simplicity and built-in QA of the PCR-based method, multiplex PCR also has the potential to reveal a different distribution of serotypes circulating in the population compared to culture-positive cases.
Those innovations, combined with increasing cost-effectiveness in the early 21st century, enabled the routine use of whole genome sequencing in laboratories worldwide, which effectively ushered in a new era of biological discovery.
In the usual pipeline of a drug and agrochemical discovery programs the resulted sets are supplied to more accurate virtual screening methods to increase cost-effectiveness in further experimental steps.
Robust, highly parallel methods to generate peptide mixtures from urine and other body fluids are critical to increase cost-effectiveness in clinical proteomics projects.
The additional measurement of serum parameters only in patients identified by this algorithm to be at high risk may increase cost-effectiveness in comparison to a concept of primary serum parameter measurement in all patients.
Informed larval interventions that target the more prolific habitats have been suggested to have great potential in combating malaria (Killeen et al., 2006; Gu and Novak, 2005), especially at a local, rather than nationwide scale resulting in increased cost-effectiveness of the operation.
In order to increase cost effectiveness, reduce waiting lists and optimise resources, it is necessary to use tools such as the EPAGE II guidelines, which establish criteria to assess the appropriateness of colonoscopies.
Available data also suggest that, as an effect of the organised programme, some of the women who previously had more frequent spontaneous tests switched to the recommended 3-year interval (Ronco et al, 1997), resulting in test savings, therefore plausibly in increased cost-effectiveness.
This could imply that personalized preventive medicine based on individuals' genetic profiles, while strictly protecting privacy, may be helpful in increasing cost-effectiveness and efficiency to promote healthy aging [ 58].
A second strategy to reduce costs and thus potentially increase cost-effectiveness is group-counselling, which was applied in several prevention programmes [ 9- 12].
