Identify Input Parameters
4 parameters
Number of Patients = 100, License Fee ($/patient/month) = 300, Treatment Duration (months) = 3, Clinician Hours per Patient = 2 = 6 input(s) provided
Calculate Total Program Cost
Total Program Cost = totalLicenseCost + totalClinicianCost + totalPlatformCost + patientSupportCost
117000 = $117,000
Calculate Cost per Patient
Cost per Patient = totalCost / patientCount
1170 = $1,170
Calculate Cost per Patient/Month
Cost per Patient/Month = costPerPatient / treatmentMonths
390 = $390
Calculate Total Licensing Cost
Total Licensing Cost = licenseFeePerMonth * treatmentMonths * patientCount
90000 = $90,000
