The overall aim of the project is to develop an economic model to understand the expected benefits and improved outcomes associated with introducing a point-of-care (POC) diagnostic test into the management of patients presenting with sepsis, focussing on the feasibility of using such modelling to predict the cost effectiveness of a POC test in the emergency department. Sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock carry an unacceptably high mortality, and the incidence is increasing, such that they are becoming an increasingly large burden on healthcare resources. The use of a POC test is often viewed as a relatively inexpensive technology that can improve subsequent management options and thus better use of limited healthcare resources. The expected impact of a POC test is on mortality and health-related quality of life but also will have considerable economic impact. Service commissioners deciding whether to fund a POC test need information to help them understand the place of the test in the existing care pathway, the impact on patient care pathways and the consequent cost and health benefits.

该项目的总体目标是开发一个经济模型，以了解与将床旁（POC）诊断测试引入脓毒症患者管理相关的预期获益和改善结局，重点关注使用此类建模预测急诊科POC测试成本效益的可行性。脓毒症、严重脓毒症和脓毒性休克具有不可接受的高死亡率，并且发病率正在增加，使得它们正在成为医疗保健资源的越来越大的负担。POC检测的使用通常被视为一种相对便宜的技术，可以改善后续的管理选择，从而更好地利用有限的医疗资源。POC测试的预期影响是死亡率和健康相关的生活质量，但也将有相当大的经济影响。决定是否资助POC测试的服务专员需要信息来帮助他们了解测试在现有护理途径中的位置，对患者护理途径的影响以及随之而来的成本和健康益处。
