การวิเคราะห์ต้นทุนของการรวมคณะนิเทศงานโรคเรื้อนเข้ากับวัณโรค และรูปแบบเส้นทางการนิเทศงานที่เหมาะสม : กรณีศึกษาสำนักงานควบคุมโรคติดต่อเขต 6 จังหวัดขอนแก่น / สนธยา รุ่งกิจการวัฒนา = Cost analysis of combined leprosy and tuberculosis teams and optimization of routing for supervision : a case study of the 6th Regional Communicable Disease Control Office, Khon Kaen / Sontaya Rongkichakarnwatana
This study aims to compare the cost of ordinary separated and combined supervisory activities in Leprosy and Tuberculosis control. Other objectives are to assess cost of combining Leprosy and Tuberculosis supervisory teams and to determine the optimum routing for supervision by combined team. The cost comparision is considered by total cost, cost per day per round, cost per supervisee per day per round and cost per case detected. Analytical approach is used to study the cost and supervision of the Leprosy Zonal Centre and Tuberculosis Zonal Centre under the 6th Regional Communicable Disease Control Office in fiscal budget year 1994. Six districts in Khon Kaen Provice are the experimental group and three districts for each of Loei and Nong Khai Provinces are the controlled group. It is founded that total cost of joint supervisory team is lower than that of separate teams. Total cost of joint supervisory team and separate teams are 25,241.58 and 41,334.12 baht, respectively, while total cost of combination is 58,058.22 baht. The study of supervision routing analysed by the Heuristic Programming Method shows that there are 10 appropriate routes for 20 hospitals and total distance is 1721 kilometres.
