Measuring and Valuing Health Benefits for Economic Evaluation
Author: John Brazier
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198569823
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
There are not enough resources in health care systems around the world to fund all technically feasible and potentially beneficial health care interventions. Difficult choices have to be made, and economic evaluation offers a systematic and transparent process for informing such choices. A key component of economic evaluation is how to value the benefits of health care in a way that permits comparison between health care interventions. In addition, the establishment of the NationalInstitute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and similar bodies around the world which require cost-effectiveness evidence to be in the form of incremental cost per QALY has resulted in an explosion of theoretical and empirical work in the field. This is the first comprehensive textbookconcerning the measurement and valuation of health benefits for economic evaluation, an area which continues to be a major source of debate.The books addresses the key questions in the measurement and valuation of health, including: the definition of health, the techniques of valuation, who should provide the values, techniques for modelling health state values, the appropriateness of tools in children and vulnerable groups, cross cultural issues, and the problem of choosing the right instrument. The book concludes with a discussion of the way forward in light of the substantial methodological differences, the role of normativejudgements, and where further research is most likely to take this fascinating component of health economics.

Valuing Age

ISBN: 9780281057795
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Pastoral care and practical theology in the light of age and ageing are the focus of this book. It will help carers in many different settings to understand the elderly and the issues they face. In particular, it looks at how theories of age relate to our experience, and how experience might challenge and shape our theologies. Our shared commitment to an awareness of lifelong learning can help our ministry to be reflective and wise; it can broaden our imagination with sympathy." "The text is grounded in the experience of older people: their hopes and fears, their problems and possibilities. There are exercises at the end of each chapter to help reflection."--BOOK JACKET.
