Periodic budget impact

Calculates the change in expenditure during period t by subtracting reference-scenario expenditure from adoption-scenario expenditure.

Function

Implementations

  • Excel

    Calculate periodic budget impact

    Excel subtracts reference-scenario expenditure from adoption-scenario expenditure for each period.

    =AdoptionExpenditure-ReferenceExpenditure

Assumptions

  • Comparable scenarios

    Reference and adoption scenarios cover the same budget holder population and reporting period.

  • Adoption-driven differences

    The scenarios differ only where adoption is expected to change population flows, treatment mix, resource use, prices or implementation.

  • Consistent monetary basis

    Both scenarios use the same currency, price year and nominal-or-real convention.

  • Budget-relevant expenditure

    Costs and savings are included only when they affect the stated budget holder during the specified period.

Worked examples

  • Year-one expenditure increase

    Reference-scenario expenditure is £21,000,000 and adoption-scenario expenditure is £21,900,000. The year-one budget impact is a £900,000 expenditure increase.

    t = 1; E_A_t = 21900000; E_R_t = 21000000; BI_t = 900000

Common errors

  • Using unchanged current practice as the reference automatically

    The reference scenario should represent the expected future without adoption and may include changes in population, treatment patterns, prices and clinical practice.
