Healthcare rationing requires careful decisions. A new exercise helps diverse groups reach consensus on funding priorities, like infertility treatment, by combining expert and non-expert knowledge.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Medical Ethics
  • Health Economics

Background:

  • Rationing healthcare resources is an increasing challenge for practitioners.
  • Developing mechanisms for deliberated decision-making is crucial.
  • Consensus-building tools are needed to integrate diverse perspectives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel exercise designed to facilitate consensus decisions from diverse opinions in healthcare rationing.
  • To evaluate the utility of this exercise with different groups.

Main Methods:

  • The exercise was piloted with two distinct groups: an undergraduate medical class and general practice members.
  • It aimed to generate consensus on funding prioritization for infertility treatment.
  • Expert and non-expert knowledge were incorporated into the decision-making process.
