Economic evidence needed for continuing professional development
Over the payer’s budget horizon, continuing professional development may be clinically useful yet remain unaffordable at the proposed scale. The qualitative study titled “What makes continuing professional development clinically useful for nurses?” may help identify valued program features, but its title does not establish resource requirements, uptake, or economic outcomes. A linked budget impact analysis should report training costs, staff replacement time, implementation capacity, and slower uptake scenarios separately from any estimate of cost-effectiveness.
