Using system dynamics modelling to estimate the costs of relaxing health system constraints: a case study of tuberculosis prevention and control interventions in South Africa

Abstract: Health system constraints are increasingly recognised as an important addition to model-based analyses of disease control interventions, as they affect achievable impact and scale. Enabling activities implemented alongside interventions to relax constraints and reach the intended coverage may incur additional costs, which should be considered in priority setting decisions. We explore the use of group model building, a participatory system dynamics modelling technique, for eliciting information from key stakeho… Show more

“…These interventions are highly cost effective [50]. This work considers the infrastructural, organisational, and behavioural changes needed for such interventions to be sustainable [50]. These results support additional investment in a package of IPC interventions to limit the transmission of Mtb and other airborne pathogens.…”

“…As part of the wider Umoya omuhle project, we have modelled the impact of TB IPC interventions implemented in clinics, including improvements in natural ventilation, on Mtb transmission both within clinics [48] and in surrounding communities [49]. These interventions are highly cost effective [50]. This work considers the infrastructural, organisational, and behavioural changes needed for such interventions to be sustainable [50].…”

“… 12 While some of the strategic level enablers to address these constraints may not be easily quantified for inclusion in the economic evaluation, this information can still be considered as additional evidence alongside the ICERs for prioritising interventions within the proposed TB IPC package. 23 …”

“…A full description of the interventions and enablers cost model, alongside an explanation of how SDM results were used to inform the costing exercise, is published elsewhere. 23 Interventions were designed and costed based on the characteristics of the two clinics in the area where the social contacts survey was conducted. Clinic 1 is a large periurban facility, while clinic 2 is a smaller rural facility in a relatively less affluent area.…”
