Unit Cost
The cost per unit of a healthcare resource, used to translate resource use into monetary values.
Definition
Unit costs are the monetary values applied to healthcare resource quantities. Common sources include NHS Reference Costs (for hospital activity), the PSSRU Unit Costs of Health and Social Care (for community and social care), the BNF (for drug prices), and MIMS. Unit costs should reflect the perspective of the analysis (NHS and Personal Social Services perspective for NICE submissions).
