Budget impact analysis of routinely using whole-genomic sequencing of six multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens in Queensland, Australia
Objective To predict the cost and health effects of routine use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of bacterial pathogens compared with those of standard of care.Design Budget impact analysis was performed over the following 5 years.Data were primarily from sequencing results on clusters of multidrug-resistant organisms across 27 hospitals.Model inpu
