title: Health-related cost-to-benefit measurement. A difficult sell in a "show me the money" era.
abstract: "Cost to benefit" is both a generic term and a specific technique used to describe and guide budgetary and investment scenarios. The methodology is based on computer mathematical models to prospectively define the short- and long-term financial gain or burden that may be produced by investing today's dollars in tomorrow's programs, technology or facilities.
