| Abstract: | A poster presentation regarding an economic and feasibility testing for point-of-care testing for total cholesterol using accutrend® plus and multicare-in®. Introduction: Investment appraisal techniques help to establish whether future gains from an investment will make the initial outlay lucrative. Two investment appraisal techniques were identified for the purpose of this study; the Average Rate of Return (ARR) and the payback method. Aims: • To examine local total cholesterol (TC) point-of-care (PoC) testing; • To determine consumer demand for TC PoC; and • To ascertain the most economically feasible device by determining the ARR and payback period for the TC PoC devices available in Malta, namely the Accutrend® Plus and the Multicare-In®. |
