Budget Impact Analysis
Budget Impact Analysis (BIA) is a financial tool used to evaluate the economic implications of new healthcare interventions or treatments on a health care system's budget. It helps policymakers understand how introducing a new drug or procedure will affect overall costs, including changes in patient care and resource allocation. Essentially, BIA estimates the financial impact of adopting a new healthcare option over a specific time period, considering factors like the number of patients and treatment costs, to ensure that decisions made will be financially sustainable for the healthcare system.
