Program Cost

Here you note assumptions about the features and costs of the asthma program intervention.

For a general discussion of this page, visit our User's Guide page.

Review four decisions that will affect calculations of the cost of the program to be implemented. Modify if appropriate.

1. Length of operation planned for the program.
2. Time until the full impact of program is expected.
3. Cost of the program per person per year (consider changing based on cost estimates for specific programs from vendors).
4. Discount rate for valuing savings and costs that occur in different years. (If immediacy of results is essential in your program, you may want to raise the discount rate.)
