Return on Investment (ROI) in Health Programs

Return on Investment (ROI) in health programs measures the benefits gained compared to the costs invested. It evaluates whether the resources spent on health initiatives—such as prevention, treatment, or wellness activities—are justified by the improvements they bring, like better health outcomes, reduced healthcare expenses, or increased productivity. A positive ROI indicates that the program delivers more value than it costs, showing its effectiveness and efficiency. Essentially, ROI helps stakeholders understand the financial and health impact of their investment, guiding decisions to allocate resources toward the most beneficial health strategies.
