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.
