A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Health care decision–makers throughout the world continue tostruggle with the conflicting pressures of controlling health careexpenditure while satisfying both increased demands and risingpublic expenditure. Difficult decisions about the allocation ofhealth care are inevitable. Workers in the field are increasinglycalled upon to consider the economic consequences of theirday–to–day practice, and yet there is very little hard data onwhich to base decision–making.

Clinical Economics in Gastroenterology is the first book of itskind to tackle these thorny issues. It applies clinical economicsto gastrointestinal disorders, which are amongst the most commoncomplaints and which result in substantial morbidity and mortality.The economic techniques developed to quantify and compare the priceand benefits of rival treatments seem remote from clinical reality.This book tries to bring the clinical scenario, with its variety ofboth presentation and treatment response, together with an economicperspective that assigns monetary values to all aspects of disease.The result is a synthesis of information that yields interestingconclusions on the one hand, and which identifies the need forfurther research on the other. It contains an introductory chapterthat outlines the principles of clinical economics that is followedby 14 chapters applying these to gastrointestinal disorders orprocedures.

This book will be of real practical help to gastroenterologistsand hospital managers trying to evaluate management decisions ongrounds of cost and benefit.
