背景：需要预算和规划供应的国家结核病规划。目标：帮助国家管理人员合理、快速地确定国家结核病规划的供应需求及其成本。方法：开发了一个电子表格，根据国家通报的病例数量计算结核病控制用品的需求。电子表格有3个相互依赖的基本组件需要修改。第一个组成部分要求更新方案材料主要供应国的货币汇率，第二个组成部分包含国家方案中常用的治疗方案及其费用清单，最后一个完整报告半年内报告的结核病病例数量，然后需要提供相应的方案。第三个构成部分列出了诊断和治疗用品以及这些用品向国际防治结核病和肺病联合会(国际防肺结核联合会)支付的费用。这里需要的信息包括(在更新特定国家的供应商列表及其材料成本之后)当前的供应品库存，并根据需要和单位大小的便利性编辑由此产生的订货建议。结果：电子表格建议用于消耗和储备的供应品的订货大小。根据用户提供的输入，它将得出诊断和治疗中订购用品的成本估计。结论：在低收入国家的许多结核病项目中，计算机正越来越多地在国家一级使用，这份电子表格可从IUATLD获得，旨在为国家管理人员提供如何计算用品需求的背景信息，并为他们提供一个简单的工具来快速评估这些需求和成本。
Setting: National tuberculosis programs in need of budgeting and planning for supplies.Objective: To assist national managers to rationally and rapidly determine needs in supplies and their costs for the national tuberculosis program.Methods: A spreadsheet has been developed to calculate needs in supplies for tuberculosis control based on the number of nationally notified cases. The spreadsheet has 3 interdependent basic components that need to be modified. The first component requires an update of exchange rates of currencies from countries which are major suppliers for program materials, The second component contains a list of commonly used treatment regimens in national programs and their cost, The number of reported tuberculosis cases for the last complete reporting half-year on then corresponding regimens needs to be provided. The third component lists supplies for diagnosis and treatment and the costs of these to the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (IUATLD). The information required here includes (after updating the country-specific list of suppliers and the cost of their material) the current stock in supplies and editing the resulting suggestion for orders according to needs and convenience of unit size.Results: The spreadsheet suggests the ordering size of supplies for consumption and reserve. Based on input provided by the user, it will turn out estimates of the cost of the order for supplies in diagnosis and treatment.Conclusions: Computers are coming increasingly into use at the national level of many tuberculosis programs in low income countries, This spreadsheet, available from the IUATLD, is designed to provide national managers with the background on how to calculate needs for supplies and to provide them with a simple tool to assess these needs and their costs rapidly.
