Description
Label the cost and effect units used on a cost-effectiveness plane.
Health-economic accounting distinguishes evaluation perspective, reference years, utility tariffs, timing and allocated costs. Missing resource use differs from measured zero, and a caller-supplied weight differs from a validated model correction. One cost or budget contribution does not establish cost effectiveness or an appropriate allocation of care.
Label the cost and effect units used on a cost-effectiveness plane.
When to use this tool
Use Cost Effectiveness Plane Axis Unit Label when checking the stated supplied health-economic record, timing or allocation convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter analysisId, incrementalEffectUnit, incrementalCostCurrency. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty analysis ID, effect unit and cost currency label. Encode [analysisId,effectUnit,currency] as JSON text.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| analysisId | Analysis Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| incrementalEffectUnit | Incremental Effect Unit | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| incrementalCostCurrency | Incremental Cost Currency | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | JSON-encoded ordered tuple or literal token under the convention above; not a database lookup or authentication result. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"analysisId": "A17",
"incrementalEffectUnit": "QALY",
"incrementalCostCurrency": "USD 2025"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"A17\",\"QALY\",\"USD 2025\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Units and currency are recorded without validation, conversion or determination of which outcome measure is appropriate.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use a complete justified economic model, verified sources and qualified health-economic/financial assessment for real policy or care-allocation decisions.
