Cost Standard Set Program: Moving Forward to Standardization of Cost Assessment Based on Clinical Condition
By: Anna Paula Beck da Silva Etges, Richard D. Urman, Anne Geubelle, Robert Kaplan and Carisi Anne Polanczyk
Abstract
This communication announces the International Cost Standard Set Program. Its goal is to establish global standardized frameworks for measuring the costs of treating specific clinical conditions. A scientific committee, including 16 international healthcare cost assessment experts, met in Lisbon for a first scientific meeting, followed by an international conference at which time-driven activity-based costing applied studies were shared with the community. The cost standard set program will offer standardized instruments to measure, using real-world data, the financial impact of having access to health technologies, improving the ability to evaluate inequitable distribution and access to health care resources. Such advances might represent a paradigm shift in our ability to generate cost information on an individual level.
