Cost monitoring in epidemiology is conducted through a series of steps:
Planning: Define the scope and objectives of cost monitoring, including identifying the programs and interventions to be tracked. Data Collection: Collect detailed financial data related to the costs of resources, personnel, and other expenditures. Data Analysis: Analyze the collected data to identify trends, disparities, and areas for potential cost savings. Reporting: Generate reports that provide insights into the financial performance of health programs and interventions. Feedback and Action: Use the insights gained from cost monitoring to make informed decisions and implement changes aimed at improving cost-effectiveness.
