Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis la publication de la première édition en 1987, Methods for the economic of health care programmes est devenu le livre de référence dans son domaine au niveau international. Au cours des dix dernières années, l'évaluation économique des programmes de santé a connu un développement considérable, qui s'est traduit par une forte augmentation du nombre des études publiées et par une reconnaissance de plus en plus affirmée de son rôle dans la prise de décision. La seconde édition, qui paraît en français sous le titre Méthodes d'évaluation économique des programmes de santé, constitue un apport essentiel à l'économie de la santé, à la fois par son contenu et par ses qualités pédagogiques. Les quatre co-auteurs sont des spécialistes internationalement reconnus, aussi bien comme théoriciens que comme praticiens de l'évaluation économique. On trouve dans cet ouvrage une présentation synthétique des principes méthodologiques de l'évaluation économique, ainsi qu'une grille d'analyse de la qualité des études d'évaluation, qui peut s'appliquer à n'importe quelle étude publiée. Les principales formes de l'évaluation économique, analyses de coût, coût-efficacité, coût-utilité et coût-bénéfice, sont ensuite présentées de façon détaillée et illustrées par des exemples. Une attention spéciale est portée aux analyse coût-utilité et coût-bénéfice, qui ont connu des développements méthodologiques majeurs au cours des dernières années. Cette seconde édition s'est également enrichie de développements concernant le recueil et l'analyse des données, ainsi que la présentation et l'utilisation des résultats des évaluations économiques. Tout en restant d'un accès très facile, cet ouvrage ne souffre jamais des ambiguïtés d'une simplification excessive. Il deviendra vite indispensable aux décideurs, aux commanditaires, aux analystes et à tous les utilisateurs de l'évaluation économique et il sera l'outil de référence des économistes comme des professionnels de santé.

Download or read book Cost benefit Analysis and Health Care Evaluations written by Robert J. Brent and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Brent s book is a superb and much-needed text in the field of health care evaluation. The economic approaches for appraisal of health care programs are presented with greater clarity than any other available text. A comprehensive review of cost-minimization, cost-effectiveness analysis, cost utility analysis, and cost benefit analysis is given in a simple and yet very insightful manner that pointedly demonstrates their fundamental principles, methodological requirements, and common linkages for evaluation research. The book skilfully merges theory and application of the economic analyses of health care, combining the latest literature with adroit illustrations of required methodologies and easily understandable examples that inform the reader of how empirical evaluation research should be conducted. Major evaluation concerns about the appropriateness of discounting health benefits, the appropriate discount (interest) rate, and intangible benefits and costs are critically appraised. Not only is the criterion of economic efficiency of health care programs explored directly and with lucidity, but the important social question of the equity of health interventions is also assessed straightforwardly. Students of health care as well as health policy analysts and administrators are provided with a considerable solid foundation for undertaking evaluation of complex health care issues. In short, Professor Brent has even made the economics of health care evaluation accessible to non-economists in the health care field. Paul L. Solano, University of Delaware, US Cost benefit analysis is the only method of economic evaluation which can effectively indicate whether a health care treatment or intervention is worthwhile. This book attempts to build a bridge between cost benefit analysis, as developed by economists, and the health care evaluation literature which relies on other evaluation approaches such as cost-minimization, cost-effectiveness analysis and cost utility analysis. Robert Brent explains the many different ways in which these other valuation techniques can be converted into cost benefit analysis and examines both the traditional (human capital) and modern (willingness to pay) approaches. Case studies are used throughout to explain and illustrate the various methodologies being examined. The author follows an applied economics approach, in which methods and ideas are evaluated according to practicability and not according to their theoretical purity. Ultimately, he resolves a number of disputes and makes some new, but subtle, contributions by reinterpreting, correcting and extending existing work. The book covers the topic in an accessible manner, from the foundations to the frontiers of the field, and clearly explains all the necessary economic principles along the way. Cost Benefit Analysis and Health Care Evaluations will be invaluable to students and researchers of economics, public policy and health care policy, as well as policymakers and health care practitioners. It can also be used as a comprehensive introductory text by anyone with an interest in cost benefit analysis.

Download or read book Theory and Methods of Economic Evaluation of Health Care written by Magnus Johannesson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most economic evaluations of health care programmes at the moment are cost effectiveness and cost-utility analyses. The problem with these methods is that their theoretical foundations are unclear. This has led to confusion about how to define the costs and health effects and how to interpret the results of these studies. In the environmental and traffic safety fields it is instead common to carry out traditional cost-bene:fit analyses of health improving programmes. This striking difference in how health programmes are assessed in different fields was the original motivation for writing this book. The aim of the book is to tty and provide a coherent framework within cost-bene:fit analysis and welfare economics for the different methods of economic evaluation in the health care field. The book is written in an easily accessible manner and several examples of applications of the different methods are provided. It is my hope that it will be useful both for teaching purposes and as a guide for practitioners in the field. Glenn C. Blomquist, John D. Graham, Rich O'Conor and four anonymous referees provided helpful comments on previous versions of the manuscript. I would also like to express my gratitude to the following persons for helping me to prepare the manuscript: Carl-Magnus Berglund, Carin Blanksvard, Ann Brown, and Ziad Obeid.

Download or read book Prevention Effectiveness written by Anne C. Haddix and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As public accountability has increased and resources have become scarcer, public health, like clinical medicine, has been forced to re-examine the benefits and costs of its activities. Decision and economic analysis are basic tools in carrying out that mission. These methods have become standard practice in clinical medicine and health services research. This book , now in its second edition, was written in an effort to apply and adapt that experience with public health situations.The book was originally written to introduce Centers for Disease Control and Prevention staff to the concepts of decision and economic analysis, to provide guidance on methods to maximize comparability of studios, and to provide access to frequently used reference information. It has been adapted to meet the needs of scientists and managers in state and local health departments and managed care organizations as well as students in schools of public health and clinicians for an introductory text --a text that shows how these methods can be applied in population-based practice, to facilitate better comparability of studies, and to solidify understanding of the scientific basis for use of these tools in decision making. Decision makers will learn how these studies are conducted so they can be critical consumers-- understanding the strengths and limitations- and apply findings to policy and practice.The second edition updates and expands upon the standard methodology for condcuting prevention effectiveness analyses. Each chapter has been revised or re-written. The chapters on measuring effectiveness, decision analysis, and making information useful for decision makers as well as several appendices are entirely new.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’économie de la santé s’est imposée comme un champ scientifique qui appréhende les stratégies de santé dans leur globalité en y incluant toutes leurs conséquences directes et indirectes. C’est la raison pour laquelle cette discipline se conjugue naturellement avec la Santé Publique pour se situer à l’interface de la médecine, de la biologie, des sciences mathématiques, des sciences informatiques et des sciences humaines et sociales. Face aux crises économiques et sanitaires que traverse le monde, l'organisation des systèmes de santé est régulièrement remise en question par la croissance continue des dépenses de santé liée à l’accélération des innovations thérapeutiques et technologiques, et à l’augmentation de l’espérance de vie de la population. Cet ouvrage présente, à l’aide de nombreux exemples, les enjeux de l’économie de la santé ainsi que les méthodes et outils de l’évaluation médico-économique permettant non seulement d’estimer la valeur des innovations en santé, mais de rechercher aussi un équilibre difficile entre solidarité et liberté. Il s’adresse à la fois aux professionnels de santé, scientifiques, économistes, décideurs, étudiants ainsi qu’à tous les passionnés d’interdisciplinarité.

Download or read book Using Cost Effectiveness Analysis to Improve Health Care written by Peter J. Neumann and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-10-28 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As health costs in the U.S. soar past $1.5 trillion, much evidence indicates that the nation does not get good value for its money. It is widely agreed that we could do better by using cost-effective analysis (CEA) to help determine which health care services are most worthwhile. American policy makers, however, have largely avoided using CEA, and researchers have devoted little attention to understanding why this is so. By considering the economic, social, legal, and ethical factors that contribute to the situation, and how they can be negotiated in the future, this book offers a unique perspective. It traces the roots of EA in health and medicine, describes its promise for rational resource allocation, and discusses the nature of the opposition to it, using Medicare and the Oregon health plans as examples. In exploring the disconnection between the promise of CEA and the persistent failure of rational intentions, the book seeks to find common ground and practical solutions. It analyzes the prospects for change and presents a roadmap for getting there. It offers pragmatic advice for cost-effectiveness analysts, discussing ways in which they can better translate their research findings into the basis for action. The book also offers advice for policy makers and politicians, including lessons from Europe, Canada, and Australia, and underlines the need for leadership to establish the conditions for change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is becoming increasingly important to examine the relationship between the outcomes of a clinical trial and the costs of the medical therapy under study. The results of such analysis can affect reimbursement decisions for new medical technologies, drugs, devices or diagnostics. It can aid companies seeking to make claims about the cost-effectiveness of their product, as well as allowing early consideration of the economic value of therapies which may be important to improving initial adoption decisions. It is also vital for addressing the requirements of regulatory bodies. Economic Evaluation in Clinical Trials provides practical advice on how to conduct cost-effectiveness analyses in controlled trials of medical therapies. This new edition has been extensively rewritten and revised; topics discussed range from design issues such as the types of services that should be measured and price weights, to assessment of quality-adjusted life years. Illustrative materials, case histories and worked examples are included to encourage the reader to apply the methods discussed.
