Priority Setting in Action: Purchasing Dilemmas / Edition 1

by Frank Honigsbaum, John Richards, Tony Lockett

Overview

The power of purchasers exposes the weaknesses of conventional thinking on the costs and benefits of priorities. Health policy analysts now have to develop rational criteria to support decisions in a process which may be inherently intuitive. This authoritative and practical text points the way towards clear choices in resource allocation and the implications of these choices on expenditure diverted among different health care programmes.
