2018 ELC Grantees’ Meeting Preconference Workshop

Header for Epidemiology & Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases CoAg Agenda

Print Version of Agenda [PDF – 340 KB]

Topic: How much does that specimen cost? Estimate the cost of laboratory testing

When: Session One will Tuesday, April 10, 2018, 8:00am – 11:00am (During the morning of the Arboviral Meeting)
be & Session Two will be Tuesday, April 10, 2018, 1:00pm – 5:00pm (During the afternoon of the Arboviral Meeting)

Intended Target Audience: 

  • State and local level public health laboratory officials.
  • Project officers and budget mangers whose tasks include budgeting for laboratory-based operations.

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.
