Background
For selected cancer indications, the total economic burden of disease on the German healthcare system was quantified – as a basis for illustrating care needs and the economic imperative for action.
Our Approach
-
1
Systematic analysis of the prevalence and incidence of the indications under consideration.
-
2
Quantification of the burden of disease using clinical and healthcare-related parameters.
-
3
Combining direct and indirect costs to arrive at the total economic burden.
Result
This provided a clear picture of the overall economic burden – broken down into direct costs (treatment, resource consumption) and indirect costs (losses in productivity) – which provides verifiable evidence of healthcare needs and the economic imperative for action.
