Abstract
Health economics is about providing the population with the maximum health possible under budget constraint. The most common method to present the result of an economic evaluation is the calculation of the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). It is defined by the difference in cost between two possible technologies, divided by the difference in their effect. It represents the amount of money required to gain one additional unit of health for the population. Economic evaluations are based upon 1) medical evidence of the health benefits of technologies and 2) the value of resources used to achieve these health benefits. An economic evaluation is one type of information that can be used by policy makers, in combination with data on organisation, financing, and incentives to decide on the adoption of innovative technologies.
期刊介绍：
Best Practice & Research Clinical Haematology publishes review articles integrating the results from the latest original research articles into practical, evidence-based review articles. These articles seek to address the key clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management. Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach which focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known, covering the spectrum of clinical and laboratory haematological practice and research. Although most reviews are invited, the Editor welcomes suggestions from potential authors.
