The decision-making on cost-inefficient care.

Cost-inefficient care in health care is an extremely urgent problem. In a context of limited resources and rising healthcare costs, it is essential to allocate resources efficiently and fairly. Cost-effectiveness assessment methods have ethical implications, in particular raising issues of fairness and discrimination. The issue of cost-effective care requires a broader social discussion on the rules of allocation and prioritization, which should respect the values of fairness and efficiency, and on transparency in decision-making processes.
