Description
Multiply nonnegative eligiblePeople by uptakeFraction in [0, 1] for treatedPeople.
Health-economic costs depend on resource definitions, perspective, currency, price year, and timing. An incremental or discounted model term uses supplied assumptions without proving treatment benefit or determining an adoption decision.
Multiply nonnegative eligiblePeople by uptakeFraction in [0, 1] for treatedPeople.
When to use this tool
Use Health Economic Budget Impact One Year Term when you need one transparent health-economic cost or comparison component.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter eligiblePeople, uptakeFraction, incrementalTreatmentCost, implementationCost, displacedCost. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read treatedPeople, grossIncrementalCost, netBudgetImpact. Use the output convention below.
Multiply nonnegative eligiblePeople by uptakeFraction in [0, 1] for treatedPeople. Multiply by incrementalTreatmentCost, add implementationCost, and subtract displacedCost for netBudgetImpact.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| eligiblePeople | Eligible People | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| uptakeFraction | Uptake Fraction | Required. Finite number; minimum 0; maximum 1. |
| incrementalTreatmentCost | Incremental Treatment Cost | Required. Finite number. |
| implementationCost | Implementation Cost | Required. Finite number. |
| displacedCost | Displaced Cost | Required. Finite number. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| treatedPeople | Treated People | Required. Finite number. |
| grossIncrementalCost | Gross Incremental Cost | Required. Finite number. |
| netBudgetImpact | Net Budget Impact | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Cost terms may be signed and expected treated people may be fractional; this is one modeled year without clinical effectiveness, real uptake, budget approval, or uncertainty analysis.
- 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.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review the complete economic evaluation, clinical evidence, uncertainty, and relevant decision context separately.
