Essentials of Economic Evaluation in Healthcare by Rachel Elliott
With increasing pressure on national healthcare budgets, there has evolved in recent years a greater appreciation of the costs of medical interventions. This has resulted in the burgeoning field of health economics in which the costs versus benefits of various medical treatments are compared against desired incomes. Bridging a gap in the literature, this new book introduces and comprehensively covers the subject of health economics. Section 1 explains in detail the principles and theory of health economics using examples relevant to pharmacy. Section 2 moves on to discuss economic evaluation methodology and contains many work examples. Each chapter is fully referenced and contains a bibliography and suggestions for further reading.'..the scope and accuracy of the book are unquestionable...this book is down to earth with everyday examples. For someone interested in health economics, this is a recommended read since it requires no advanced level mathematics for comprehension.'
