Cost Identification Analysis
The costs incurred because of disease or medical services used to treat it. Expressed in dollars per case. Analysis can only be based when the two outcomes are equivalent. Used to identify lowest cost of different available diagnostic/therapeutic strategies or to quantify economic burden of a disease or its treatment.
Cost-effectiveness Analysis
Measures net cost of providing a service and the outcomes obtained. Units are costs [$] per outcome [natural units] and must be the same units for the two services/treatments (cost-effectiveness ratio).
Cost-benefit Analysis
Forces an explicit decision about whether the cost is worth the benefit by measuring both in teh same units - currency. Net benefit, however, is generally preferred to benefit-cost ratio. The two cases compared have different measures of outcomes (ex. flu shots vs. warfarin clinic)
Cost-minimization Analysis
The two outcomes are equal (brand vs. generic, different doses of same drug), so just evaluate costs.
