What Does Economic Evaluation Mean in the Context of Children at the End of Their Life
The 'conventional framework' of economic evaluation, the comparative public sector healthcare costs and quality adjusted life year (QALY) of two or more interventions, has become synonymous with commissioning decisions in many countries. However, while useful as a framework in guiding value-based decisions, it has limited relevance in areas such as end of life care in children and young people, where the costs fall across multiple stakeholders an…
Investigating the economic case of a service to support carers of people with dementia
Carers contribute essential support to enable people with dementia to continue living within the community. Admiral Nurses provide specialist dementia support for carers of people with dementia, including offering expert emotional support and guidance, and work to join up different parts of the health and social care system to address needs in a co-ordinated way. The cost-effectiveness of this service is not clear. We undertook a feasibility stud…
Outcomes of reablement and their measurement
Reablement - or restorative care - is a central feature of many western governments' approaches to supporting and enabling older people to stay in their own homes and minimise demand for social care. Existing evidence supports this approach although further research is required to strengthen the certainty of conclusions being drawn. In countries where reablement has been rolled out nationally, an additional research priority - to develop an evide…
Economic Evaluation of Environmental Interventions
Evaluation of the costs and outcomes associated with environmental policies and interventions is often required to inform public policy and allocate scarce resources. Methods to conduct assessments of cost-effectiveness have been developed in the context of pharmaceuticals, but have more recently been applied in public health, diagnostics, and other more complex interventions. The suitability of existing economic evaluation methodology has been e…
Financial mechanisms for integrating funds for health and social care
Management, Leadership and Resources in Children's Homes
This article provides an overview of research, originally funded by the Department of Health, about the internal management and use of resources in residential child care. It explores ways in which children's homes are managed and leadership is established and the relationship of these to their use of resources and the outcomes for young people in their care. The paper examines variations in the functioning of a sample of 45 non-specialist childr…
New Labour, equity and public services
The UK government has repeatedly stressed its commitment to equity in public services. It is difficult to test this commitment in many policy arenas, but it can be achieved more readily in services where a balance has to be struck between state and individual financing and provision. This article uses the example of long-term care for older people to illustrate the arguments. A modified form of Rawls' Difference Principle is employed to character…
Measuring Population Health
OBJECTIVES: The relative performance of three widely used generic health status measures (EQ-5D, a modified HUI3 [mHUI3], and SF-12) was compared within a general population sample. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data were taken from a cohort of persons identified from the patient list of a large general practice in York, UK. Two-way comparisons were made between EQ-5D and mHUI3 and EQ-5D and SF-12. The measures were assessed in terms of their practical …
