Health assessment in the procurement of laboratory rodents. 1980

A M Jonas

A health assessment procurement program should be well matched with an ongoing in-house health monitoring and evaluation program. Programs for health assessment include ordering, receiving and quarantining of animals, or the placement of vendor animals directly into colony rooms. Health assessment methods for procured laboratory rodents consist of statistical sampling, clinical evaluation, laboratory evaluation, reporting results to veterinarians, interpretation of data, communication to investigators and vendors and action.

D003362	Cost-Benefit Analysis	A method of comparing the cost of a program with its expected benefits in dollars (or other currency). The benefit-to-cost ratio is a measure of total return expected per unit of money spent. This analysis generally excludes consideration of factors that are not measured ultimately in economic terms. In contrast a cost effectiveness in general compares cost with qualitative outcomes.
