Average cost-effectiveness ratio

From the Health Economics Glossary

The average cost-effectiveness ratio deals with a single intervention and evaluates that intervention against its baseline option (e.g., no program or current practice). The ACER is calculated by dividing the net cost of the intervention by the total number of health outcomes prevented by the intervention.
