Cost-effectiveness analysis combines cost information with data on a single condition-specific outcome measure, for example symptomatology or social functioning. A formal synthesis of differences in costs and outcomes can enable the most efficient intervention to be identified. Cost-consequences analysis This is a more general case of cost-effectiveness analysis. Rather than one single outcome measure being used a number of different ones are considered. This seems appropriate for mental health care research where interventions rarely affect only one domain and where different problems for different individuals may be dominant.
The TCP information to be sent is processed to create a numerical value that is placed in the header of the packet. When the packet is received, the checksum is again performed and compared with the header checksum for integrity. If the numerical value is the same, the packet is deemed good, delivered and acknowledged. If it does not pass the checksum, it is discarded and not acknowledged. If there is no acknowledgement at the sending site after a timeout period then the packet is resent with a new checksum.
Second, there may be pressures to evaluate a service as soon as it is introduced and this may mean that a ‘steady-state’ of activity has not been attained. This is likely to be particularly relevant to telemedicine services. Third, there will be uncertainty regarding the values of some parameters in most evaluations. A good example is patient time, for which there is no standard method of valuation. Conducting a ‘sensitivity analysis’ is a recognized way of determining how robust a study’s findings are to changes in the parameters.
