• Is it a good long-term value from society’s<br />
perspective?<br />
– Use cost-effectiveness as a threshold<br />
– If no, stop; if yes, continue<br />
• What is the relevant comparator? (e.g.<br />
“standard of care” = no treatment)<br />
• Over what time period should the program be<br />
evaluated?<br />
• Which public and private payer budgets will be<br />
affected? Who wins? Who loses?<br />
