Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

How should health systems decide what to fund when needs exceed available resources?Health Economics, HTA and Value provides a structured introduction to the economic reasoning behind health-care financing, resource allocation, technology assessment, and decisions about value.The volume examines scarcity, opportunity cost, insurance and financial protection, priority setting, Health Technology Assessment, cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analysis, budget impact, provider incentives, pharmaceutical and medical-device markets, and behavioural economics. It also explores modelling under uncertainty, equity-weighted evaluation, contracting, and the economics of prevention.Throughout, economic efficiency is treated alongside access, distribution, affordability, uncertainty, and institutional constraints. Particular attention is given to distinguishing cost-effectiveness from affordability, average value from distributional consequences, and economic evidence from the value judgments that ultimately shape collective choices.Written for advanced students, researchers, health professionals, analysts, and decision-makers, the book offers a rigorous framework for understanding how limited resources can be evaluated and allocated across complex health systems.
