Please Note:
First 20 attendees who sign-up during the registration process may attend (due to room capacity limitations). No exceptions.
Description: The pre-conference is designed to show participants how to use a spreadsheet tool to estimate the costs of processing a laboratory specimen in a public health laboratory. It will feature a short presentation, followed by a “hands on” practical session. Participants will work through exercises designed to meet course objectives.
Workshop Objectives: Participants will, at workshop end, be able to:
- Identify, with the spreadsheet tool, the relevant cost categories to be used to estimate cost of laboratory testing of a specimen.
- Describe the various techniques to quantify the different cost categories, including what to do when there are little or no data readily available.
- Describe the assumptions required to complete the analysis and the limitations of the analyses.
- Understand how to use the estimates produced the spreadsheet tools to produce a draft report.
Workshop Materials: Participants will receive:
- Slides and supporting information
- An excel spreadsheet tool that the participants can use to estimate the costs of processing a laboratory specimen in a public health laboratory.
