Förlagets beskrivning
Public health has, for many years, been concerned with efforts to increase
the efficiency of health care delivery, to measure changes in health care
resource utilization and associated costs, and to link these changes to
different types of interventions. These efforts, as well as collaboration
between biopharmaceutical organizations, producers of medical devices, and
managed care and public health organizations, have been enhanced by the
opportunities created within the fast growing field of outcomes research. This volume presents studies contributing to the enhancement of the
outcomes research paradigm by incorporating economic and social interactions
within the health care delivery, clinical decision-making and outcomes systems.
A multidisciplinary team of scientists in the fields of outcomes research,
pharmacoeconomics, public health, health services research, and health
economics address such complex problems as: benefits and cost of advancements
in genetic technologies; methodologies for constructing health care utilization
and cost estimates; and the effect of insurance type on resource utilization
and health outcomes. Other studies consider both the types of drugs purchased
and the prices paid, pharmaceutical spending and health outcomes, incremental
advantages of newer treatments, willingness to pay measurements,
disease-specific impacts on human capital and quality of life, and modelling
clinical trial results. One of the most important findings in this book is the description of the
role of low energy in the symptomatology of depression and its strong
relationship with absenteeism, work productivity and social functioning.
Another paper documents the disease-specific mortality, case-fatality and
annual health care utilization in diabetics and establishes the association of
respiratory conditions with elevated mortality among diabetics. The work
contains other papers which provide significant results in cardiovascular,
infectious, central nervous system disease areas as well as in quality of life
and health outcomes measurements. This volume presents studies contributing to the enhancement of the
outcomes research paradigm on public health by incorporating economic and
social interactions within the health care delivery, clinical decision-making
and outcomes systems.
