ICARO3 ICARO3 International Conference on Advances in Radiation Oncology 16 19 February 2021 WEIGHTED GOAL PROGRAMMING APPROACH FOR SOLVING BUDGETARY RADIATION THERAPY TREATMENT Kizito Paul Mubiru Video / Profile Photo Area
ICARO3 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION In today s fast paced and competitive era for healthcare service provision, optimal allocation of budgeted expenditure poses a critical concern among patients under radiation therapy treatment. Radiotherapy costs are often underestimated component of the economic assessment of new radiotherapy treatment and technologies. The budget impact on radiation oncology to large tertiary care clinics is likely to remain significant in the future. Factors unrelated to the individual patient can account for the majority of variation in the cost of radiation therapy treatment; suggesting potential inefficiency in healthcare expenditure. A weighted goal programming model is proposed that allocates budgetary expenditure for radiation therapy treatment at Mulago Cancer Institute in Uganda. Budgetary expenditure considered Drugs/materials Labor Video / Profile Photo Area Miscellaneous costs.
ICARO3 METHODS METHODS Weighted goal programming model Minimize Z= k=12 j=13 Pk(j)(Dk++ Dk-) subject to: j=13 Xij D1++D1-= C1 j=13 Xij D2++D2-= C2 Xij, D1+, D1-, D2+, D2-, C1, C2 0 (i=1,2) Category of patients (k=1,2): Cost goals Z: Value of objective function Pk(i) : Pre-emptive priority of kthgoal Dk+: Overachievement of kth goal Dk-: Underachievement of kthgoal C1 : Budgeted expenditure on category 1 patients C2: Budgeted expenditure on category 2 patients for i=1 for i=2 (j=1,2,3) Budgetary expenditure Video / Profile Photo Area
ICARO3 RESULTS 1 RESULTS 1 CATEGORY OF PATIENTS CALCULATED COSTS (in USD) TARGETED TOTAL COSTS (in USD) Drugs/Materials Labor Miscellaneous Category 1 529,294 245,500 145,080 919,499 Category 2 424,000 205,400 128,200 757,740 CATEGORY OF PATIENTS PRIORITIES DEVIATION VARIABLES Category 1 P1: of 919,499 USD for category 1 patients Achieve a total cost target D1+= 100 D1-= 45 Category 2 P2: of 757,695 USD for category 2 patients Achieve a total cost target D2+= 155 D2-= 60 Video / Profile Photo Area
ICARO3 RESULTS 2 RESULTS 2 CALCULATED COSTS AND DEVIATION VARIABLES X11= 529,394 X12= 245,000 X13= 145,050 D1+ = 100 D1-= 45 X21= 424,000 X22= 205,400 X23= 128,200 D2+ = 155 D2-= 60 GOAL ACHIEVEMENTS P1: Goal for total cost target is completely achieved for category 1 patients Total cost target = X11+ X12+ X13+ D1++ D1- = 529,394 + 245,000 + 145,050 + 100 - 45 = 919,499 USD P2: Goal for total cost target is completely achieved for category 2 patients Total cost target = X21+ X22+ X23+ D2++ D2- = 424,000 + 205,400 + 128,200 + 155 - 60 = 757,695 USD Video / Profile Photo Area
ICARO3 DISCUSSION / CONCLUSION DISCUSSION / CONCLUSION The application of Weighted Goal Programming(WGP) allows hospitals to identify satisfactory allocation of budgetary expenditure in radiation therapy treatment Based on the priority levels / goals , WGP can be effective; where relevant cost categories can be priotized if necessary. WGP ensures cost-effective medical treatment in hospitals; a core ingredient of sustainable healthcare service provision. Video / Profile Photo Area
