Mean cost for one completed treatment plan depending on the number of patients.
As investment costs are substantial and fixed, economies of scales are possible in the tele-expertise group. As soon as the number of annual patients reaches 186, the mean cost of one completed treatment plan equals the cost without tele-expertise.

Tornado diagram of the sensitivity analysis of the mean cost for one completed treatment plan.
Costs determinants are listed vertically, ordered so that the largest bar (the most sensitive data) appears at the top of the chart, and the smallest bar at the bottom. The baseline is €184. *With 50 satisfactory requests at each site.
