Cost consequences analysis (CCA)

This is a form of economic evaluation in which the outcomes (of which a variety of measures are normally presented) are reported separately from costs.

Cost-consequence analysis presents the costs and consequences of numerous intercessions and the results are declared in a disconnected method and are not combined with costs. CCA is comparable to CEA in that results chosen are calculated in a natural unit of effect.
