Essentials of Economic Evaluation in Healthcare by Rachel Elliott,Katherine Payne Pdf

"This book is an introduction to economic evaluation for those with little or no knowledge of economics or health economics. Essentials of Economic Evaluation in Healthcare gives an overview of economic issues specific to healthcare, and describes the main types of economic evaluation: cost effectiveness, cost utility and cost benefit analysis. The use of decision analysis to design and carry out economic evaluations is discussed. Preferred statistical methods for handling costs, current approaches to dealing with uncertainty and quantifying patient preferences using discrete choice experiments are explained. Each chapter contains worked examples and questions. With increasing pressure on national healthcare budgets, all healthcare professionals should have a basic understanding of the finite nature of healthcare resources, and the need to make choices between treatments based on a cost-benefit comparison. This book will be invaluable to pharmacists and pharmacy students as well as to other healthcare professionals, researchers and managers." -- publisher website.

Decision Modelling for Health Economic Evaluation by Andrew Briggs,Mark Sculpher,Karl Claxton Pdf

In financially constrained health systems across the world, increasing emphasis is being placed on the ability to demonstrate that health care interventions are not only effective, but also cost-effective. This book deals with decision modelling techniques that can be used to estimate the value for money of various interventions including medical devices, surgical procedures, diagnostic technologies, and pharmaceuticals. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of the appropriate representation of uncertainty in the evaluative process and the implication this uncertainty has for decision making and the need for future research. This highly practical guide takes the reader through the key principles and approaches of modelling techniques. It begins with the basics of constructing different forms of the model, the population of the model with input parameter estimates, analysis of the results, and progression to the holistic view of models as a valuable tool for informing future research exercises. Case studies and exercises are supported with online templates and solutions. This book will help analysts understand the contribution of decision-analytic modelling to the evaluation of health care programmes. ABOUT THE SERIES: Economic evaluation of health interventions is a growing specialist field, and this series of practical handbooks will tackle, in-depth, topics superficially addressed in more general health economics books. Each volume will include illustrative material, case histories and worked examples to encourage the reader to apply the methods discussed, with supporting material provided online. This series is aimed at health economists in academia, the pharmaceutical industry and the health sector, those on advanced health economics courses, and health researchers in associated fields.

Essentials of Health Economics by Michael F. Drummond,Mike Drummond,Gavin H. Mooney Pdf

In this book we hope to provide doctors interested in health economics with an appreciation of some of the basic issues in meeting the objectives of health care within the resources available in the best way possible. It should also allow them to see in a fairly practical way what economics has already contributed and what economists and doctors together need to do to enhance that contribution in the future. Since economics does not represent merely a bag of analytical tools but also, and more fundamentally, a way of thinking about choice we discuss in this first chapter some misconceptions about economics and highlight some of the more important underlying principles. Subsequent chapters will indicate how economics can contribute (and indeed has done) to issues of financing, planning, organising, and evaluating health services. The concluding chapter will present a critique of the state of the NHS and of health economics and outline some challenges for the future.

Health Economics, second edition by Frank A. Sloan,Chee-Ruey Hsieh Pdf

The new edition of a textbook that combines economic concepts with empirical evidence, updated with material on the Affordable Care Act and other developments. This book introduces students to the growing research field of health economics. Rather than offer details about health systems without providing a theoretical context, Health Economics combines economic concepts with empirical evidence to enhance readers' economic understanding of how health care institutions and markets function. The theoretical and empirical approaches draw heavily on the general field of applied microeconomics, but the text moves from the individual and firm level to the market level to a macroeconomic view of the role of health and health care within the economy as a whole. The book takes a global perspective, with description and analysis of institutional features of health sectors in countries around the world. This second edition has been updated to include material on the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, material on the expansion of health insurance in Massachusetts, and an evaluation of Oregon's Medicaid expansion via lottery. The discussion of health care and health insurance in China has been substantially revised to reflect widespread changes there. Tables and figures have been updated with newly available data. Also new to this edition is a discussion of the health economics literature published between 2010 and 2015. The text includes readings, extensive references, review and discussion questions, and exercises. A student solutions manual offers solutions to selected exercises. Downloadable supplementary material is available for instructors.

Because of the role economics plays in finance and policy, it can also be adopted in those courses. This book is not discipline-specific, so it covers a wide breadth"--

Essential Rational Healthcare Economics by Keat Jin Lee,Mark E. Lee Pdf

"KJ Lee's latest edition of the Essential Medicine book series aims to provide exactly what our understanding of America's Healthcare Economics has been lacking: perspective. The burden of fixing America's Healthcare economy should not be shouldered by economists alone. Healthcare providers and their patients should have a seat at the table, or they will be the ones left to continue to finance this trillion-dollar (and growing) quandary. With insightful and provocative chapters written by a diverse collection of world renown physicians and nurses, veterans of hospital administrations, business leaders of the nation's most successful group practices, and more, Essential Rational Healthcare Economics: Past, Present, and Future takes a much-needed scientific approach to the difficulties with the current state of Healthcare Economics. This book provides primary evidence from multiple sources, introduces critical analysis from industry experts, compares findings with international standards and best practices, and culminates with a summary of discussion and a recommendation - perhaps even a warning - for the future"--
