Evidence, economics and ethics: resource allocation in health services organizations

Jennifer L Gibson et al. Healthc Q. 2005.

Abstract

Priority setting is a challenge for health services organizations across health systems. Because demand for health services exceeds available resources, health services priorities must be set to ensure resources are used appropriately to meet the community's health needs. Various approaches have been developed to assist decision-makers to set priorities in their organizations. The dominant approaches come from evidence-based medicine, economics and ethics.
