A cost-effective study of ownership versus access: A case study for St. Patrick's College, Maynooth (1996)

Payne, Valerie J.

Abstract:

This study takes a cost-effective approach to the examination of the alternative methods of article supply, to ascertain not only the cheapest service but also to rank the alternatives according to their effectiveness or performance Three alternative methods of article supply are considered subscribing to a periodical title (ownership), individual article supply (IAS) provided by two electromc document delivery services, ContentsFirst/ArticlesFirst of OCLC FirstSearch and UnCover, and traditional article supply through the British Library Document Supply Centre A comparison of the alternatives is made to identify their differences The elements and measures of a costeffective analysis are discussed and in particular cost-per-use, which is derived for all the alternatives The operational costs of the alternatives are obtained by taking a management accounting approach and are examined in relation to the provision of the services within the library of St. Patrick's College, Maynoo...

Estimating the health-care costs of wound care in Ireland (2020)

Gillespie, Paddy; Carter, Laura; McIntosh, Caroline; Gethin, Georgina

Abstract:

Objective: To estimate the cost of wound care to the Irish health-care system.Methods: A bottom-up, prevalence-based analysis was undertaken using a decision analytic model to estimate costs. Health-care resource activity was identified from a recently published study from the UK and was valued using unit cost data for Ireland.Results: The base case analysis estimated the total annual health-care cost of wound care to be (sic)629,064,198 (95% Confidence interval (CI): (sic)452,673,358 to (sic)844,087,124), accounting for 5% (95% CI: 3% to 6%) of total public health expenditure in Ireland in 2013.The average cost per patient was (sic)3,941 ( 95% CI: (sic)2,836 to (sic)5,287). However, this study is subject to many limitations and plausible changes in the model's inputs showed that the total annual health-care cost of wound care could range from (sic)281,438,970 to (sic)844,316,912.Conclusion: Caring for wounds places a substantial burden on the Irish health-care system. In light...

This article is also available from <a href="http://www.biomedcentral.com">www.biomedcentral.com</a>
BACKGROUND: There are concerns that proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are being over prescribed in both primary and secondary care. This study aims to establish potential cost savings in a community drug scheme for a one year period according to published clinical and cost-effective guidelines for PPI prescribing. METHODS: Retrospective population-based cohort study in the Republic of Ireland using the Health Services Executive (HSE) Primary Care Reimbursement Services (PCRS) pharmacy claims database. The HSE-PCRS scheme is means tested and provides free health care including medications to approximately 30% of the Irish population. Prescription items are WHO ATC coded and details of every drug dispensed and claimants' demographic data are available. Potential cost savings (net ingredient cost) were estimated ac...
