The societal benefit of markerless stereotactic body radiotherapy-project allows a collaboration between various research domains, such as radiotherapy, radiology, biostatistics and health economics. Primarily, the focus will be set on new and improved approaches in radiotherapeutic treatment.
The role of I-CHER in this project is to foster value-based health care and researching the impact on hospitals and society in general. Within this project, a Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC) approach based on the model of Kaplan and Anderson will be applied in order to achieve a deeper understanding of the cost of care delivery and cost control. Furthermore, a socio-economic evaluation will be executed, accounting for the costs and benefits for health service providers as well as an analysis where the societal perspective is adopted.
