Resumen:
IEC SRD 63234-1:2020 provides a descriptive framework and template
for the economic evaluation of the implementation of
technology-supported home healthcare, wellness or AAL services. IEC
SRD 63234-2:2020 provides an example of the use of the framework,
specifically analysis and economic evaluation of the implementation
of technology-supported, remote, in-home monitoring of patients
(AAL care recipients) with chronic diseases.
This analysis is completed from the point of view of the
healthcare system/services funder (e.g. the government in a
state-sponsored healthcare system or possibly a health
management/health insurance company in a privately funded system).
This document is structured like IEC SRD 63234-1:2020, to
provide a means of capturing data for the Reference Scenario (the
current means of providing care, also known as 'usual care', to the
target population of members of the population with one or more
chronic diseases living at home), compared against an Alternate
Scenario (the deployment of an AAL service which provides remote
patient monitoring). Standard economic measures have been estimated
(using an electronic spreadsheet) including Return on Investment
(ROI), Net Present Value (NPV), and Payback Period of the
investment.
