A Cost-Analysis and Micro-Costing Study of the Man Van Project: Comparing Prostate-Specific Antigen Testing Via a Nurse-Led Mobile Service with Primary Care

Key Points

To evaluate the cost efficiency of the Man Van project compared to standard primary care for prostate-specific antigen testing.
Conducted a health-economic analysis to assess costs.
Compared costs of mobile nurse-led service against primary care processes.
Evaluated potential economic impacts of including additional health checks.
The Man Van project showed a 25% reduction in costs compared to standard primary care PSA testing.
Indicates significant cost efficiency in mobile health service delivery.

Abstract

Like all government funded healthcare services, a health-economic analysis is integral to supporting the case for the Man Van project into the future. The project has shown cost efficiency, saving a quarter of costs compared with the standard process of primary care-led PSA testing. Further work is needed to understand the economic impact, in particular of the inclusion of other health checks in the Man Van model.
