The book is a completely up-to-date resource that equips readers with
the
practical tools to both understand and apply health economic methods. It
introduces the key economic tools and the data available that can assist
in
making an economic decision and how to use and interpret such data. It
covers a range of settings from primary and secondary care to national
data
to global indicators of health. The information presented is applicable
to
all economic issues - at individual practice or nationwide policy level.
Its
aim is to enable the decision maker to ask the appropriate questions,
understand the relevant data and literature and to access the resources
available to them.
Harnessing Information for Health Economics Analysis is a vital handbook
for
all clinicians, managers, and policy makers and shapers who make
decisions
about planning, commissioning and delivering healthcare. It would make a
useful course text book for anyone who teaches applied health economics
and
equally it is a valuable reference source for anyone working in health
economics. It would make a useful companion to Drummond leading the
readers
to the sources of information required for undertaking an economic
evaluation and for decision making.
