RTI International has developed a Microsoft Excel-based costing tool for the World Health Organization and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Global Hearts Initiative- a program that aims to improve the primary health care of noncommunicable diseases by controlling cardiovascular diseases and hypertension. Health departments in countries implementing the Global Hearts program can use the costing tool to provide patients with estimates of the cost treatment. This package leads to better decision making for patients and economic value created through its treatment.
