Overview of Domain 3
An essential part of implementing and running a lung cancer screening programme is accurately understanding the costs involved, as well as how the programme will be financed. Domain 3 supports the development of a comprehensive budget, with the assumption that the screening programme operates or will operate within an already existing health system. This domain also supports users of the framework to consider how to ensure that people who experience greater barriers to accessing health services are not prevented from participating.
Assessment framework key questions
In this domain, metrics are designed to assess:
Budget requirements
- anticipated budget requirements for implementing an organised screening programme and any potential risks that may need monitoring or mitigating
Programme financing
- how a screening programme may be financed, including potential sources of funding
- whether any economic evaluations have been undertaken or are planned
- whether any specific costs associated with screening will be covered for some or all participants
