Project objectives
The NSW Ministry of Health – Strategic Analysis and Investment Unit, Strategic Reform and Planning Branch – uses a Preliminary Cost Benefit Analysis (PCBA) tool to assist in decision-making in regard to new capital expenditure.
This project was commissioned to update the disability weights derived from the AIHW National Burden of Disease and improve the methodology that underpins the mapping of the weights to diseases/ injury groupings. The AIHW National Burden of Disease develops disability weighting for disease areas from the Global burden of disease study through applying to population groupings in the Australian context.
