Risk factors for patient‐reported medical errors in eleven countries
Objectives The aim of this study was to identify common risk factors for patient‐reported medical errors across countries. In country‐level analyses, differences in risks associated with error between health care systems were investigated. The joint effects of risks on error‐reporting probability were modelled for hypothetical patients with different health care utilization patterns. Design Data from the Commonwealth Fund’s 2010 lnternational Sur…

Most health economists agree that public preferences should play a major role in setting criteria for distributing scarce resources. The quality‐adjusted life year (QALY) is used as a preference‐based measure for the outcome of health‐care activities in health economic evaluative studies. Traditionally, health economists proposed maximizing the additional health gain in terms of QALYs so as to maximize social welfare. Evidence has grown however, …
