The NASS and UEA model was developed to calculate the full economic costs from both a societal and healthcare perspective.
Based on the modelling that the University of East Anglia did on behalf of NASS to determine the economic cost of the delay in diagnosis of axial SpA, we have developed a simple process to help you to identify the cost of delay in your area and the potential savings.
It can also be used to show savings that have already occurred if you can show that you have reduced the time to diagnosis locally.
Understanding your local cost of delayed diagnosis will help in multiple ways:
- Make the local case for change
- Develop any business cases for investment in services
- Identify the financial benefit that would be derived from implementing the NASS Gold Standard Time to Diagnosis for an average 12 months.
How to use the pack:
