Cost-effectiveness analysis of telemedicine
Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare, 1998There are a number of different costs associated with the development and operation of telemedicine services. A model is proposed in order to assist in strengthening the evidence base for telemedicine. It includes the following components: project establishment costs; equipment costs; maintenance costs; communication costs; staffing costs. All need to

Will Cost Effectiveness Analysis Worsen the Cost Effectiveness of Health Care?
International Journal of Health Services, 1988Cost effectiveness analysis is increasingly advocated as a basis for health policy. Analysts often compare expensive interventions with highly cost-effective programs such as hypertension screening, implying that if the former were curtailed resources would be reallocated to the latter and the efficiency of health care would improve.

Medical Care, 1979
Cost benefit analyses in the health sector frequently deal with situations in which the money value of the benefits is either difficult or impossible to measure. This paper asserts that the use of cost effectiveness analysis as a means of escaping the need to place a dollar value on benefits does not escape the need for appropriately discounting these ...

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Transplantation
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1986As organ transplantation has become increasingly effective, difficult questions have been raised about its costs. Cost-effectiveness analysis is one approach that permits relatively straightforward comparisons not only among transplant procedures but among other costly lifesaving therapies.

Cost-effectiveness analysis and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios
European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2004Cost-effectiveness analysis is a formal method of comparing alternative medical interventions with regard to their resource utilization (costs) and outcomes (effectiveness). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio is an informative measure generated from such an analysis and represents the ratio of the difference in cost between two medical ...

Modelling for cost-effectiveness analysis
Statistics in Medicine, 1999A model creates the framework for a cost-effectiveness analysis, allowing decision makers to explore the implications of using an intervention in different ways and under different conditions. To serve its purpose a model must produce accurate predictions and allow for substantial variation in the factors that influence costs and effects.

What is cost‐effectiveness analysis?
Medical Journal of Australia, 1990The treatment of mild-to-moderate hypertension is used to illustrate the role of cost-effectiveness analysis in assessing the economic efficiency of pharmacological interventions. The reasons why it is important to consider economic efficiency are discussed, after which the major issues involved in conducting a cost-effectiveness analysis are outlined.

AXIOMATIC FOUNDATIONS FOR COST‐EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS [PDF]
Health Economics, 2013 ABSTRACTWe show that individual utilities can be measured in units of healthy life years. Social preferences over these life metric utilities are assumed to satisfy the Pareto principle, anonymity, and invariance to a change in origin. These axioms generate a utilitarian social welfare function implying the use of cost‐effectiveness analysis in ...

Longevity bias in cost‐effectiveness analysis
Health Economics, 2006AbstractWe use a simple lifetime utility maximization model to study the problem of medical resource allocation. This model leads to a welfare specification with a QALY (quality‐adjusted life‐year) component that captures an individual's preferences over both life expectancy and health status.

Cost-effectiveness analysis in anaesthesia
Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 1999In order to preserve the quality of anaesthetic care under cost containment programmes, the concept of value-based anaesthesia was introduced. To achieve this goal, namely, the provision of the best possible care attainable at a reasonable cost, studies are necessary that compare anaesthetic techniques in terms of both quality and costs, e.g.
