The Economics of Home Care for the Treatment of End-Stage Renal Failure
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 March 2009
Extract
Economic appraisals of health care come in various forms and tackle different questions. A treatment is worth providing, in economic terms, if the benefits it produces outweigh the costs of provision. New treatments and methods of delivery should be substituted for old ones if they allow more patients to be treated for the same cost, or the same patients at less cost. These are the basic issues which cost benefit and cost-effectiveness analyses address.
