Synopsis

These days, few people seriously expect that unlimited resources can be made available to meet all of the health care demands of the population. Whereas in the post-War years the expansion of preventative and curative medicine was largely clinician-led, the last two decades have seen the emergence of alternative bases for setting priorities, including effectiveness, efficiency and the use of public preferences. This volume analyzes the conflicting and sometimes confusing issues involved. It provides detailed evaluation of attempts to set priorities internationally, essential background on the context of priority-setting, a critique of different methods and a practical, multidisciplinary approach to setting priorities.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is a critical analysis of the issues raised by health care rationing and a guide to policy options. There is huge interest in the subject of resource allocation in health care and the associated process of priority setting, but the issues necessarily cross boundaries of disciplines and interest groups. As a result, analyses tend to be restricted to one perspective, or limited to generalities or polemics, giving little guidance to those who actually have to plan and make health care policy.
