To identify the significant inputs, activities, and outputs of a regional poison control center, a production model is described and its potential application to the conduct of economic evaluations delineated. The model can help the researcher identify the significant inputs (costs) incurred through the provision of poison control center services. These inputs directly influence the activities that the poison center is capable of undertaking. Activities undertaken by a poison center are intermediate steps between the inputs and outputs, and serve to convert the various inputs into associated outputs. They form the basis for determining the outputs produced by the poison center services. The outputs derived from poison center services provide the conceptual framework for assessing the effectiveness of a poison center in an economic analysis. Also described are potential applications of the production model in conducting poison center cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit analyses.
为确定区域毒物控制中心的重要投入、活动和产出,本文描述了一种生产模型,并阐述了其在进行经济评估方面的潜在应用。该模型可帮助研究人员识别提供毒物控制中心服务所产生的重要投入(成本)。这些投入直接影响毒物中心能够开展的活动。毒物中心开展的活动是投入与产出之间的中间步骤,用于将各种投入转化为相关产出。它们构成了确定毒物中心服务所产生产出的基础。毒物中心服务产生的产出为在经济分析中评估毒物中心的有效性提供了概念框架。本文还介绍了生产模型在进行毒物中心成本效益分析和成本效益分析中的潜在应用。
