Exploring the economics of unified budgets for health and social care
HEOM015 PhD project: Exploring the economics of unified budgets for health and social care Project contact: Hannah Penton Methods used to assess cost-effectiveness in healthcare may not be appropriate when assessing social care interventions and there may be additional issues when consolidating outcomes observed in both areas, particularly when trade-offs may have to be made. Measures of benefit such as the QALY may also be inappropriate in social care. The use of well-being measures may be more appropriate. |
