Perspective
|
• considers patient’s hours of work that are lost (possibly until patient’s retirement age)
|
• considers patient’s hours of work that are lost until employer can replace the patient
|
|
Lost production
|
• measured through patient’s lost earnings (valued at 100%) no cap on duration of absence from work
|
• measured through patient’s lost earnings (valued at 80%) absence from work capped at 76 days (friction period)
|
|
Premature death
|
• value of lost hours of work (=earnings) that would have accumulated until patient’s retirement age
|
• value of lost hours of work (=earnings) + value of lost hours of work for a full friction period (valued at 100%)
