To demonstrate how these qualitative approaches provide unique insights into organizational contexts and decision-maker behavior.

Main Methods:

Application of qualitative research methodologies, including narrative inquiry and discourse analysis.
Illustration of these methods with examples from a real-world priority setting study.
Focus on understanding organizational contexts and decision-maker behavior.

Main Results:

Qualitative traditions like narrative inquiry and discourse analysis yield distinctive findings.
These findings offer unique insights into organizational contexts and decision-maker behavior in priority setting.
The study demonstrates the untapped benefits of qualitative investigations for organizational priority setting.

Conclusions:

Understanding and overcoming barriers in health economics priority setting requires qualitative research.
Established qualitative traditions offer powerful tools for analyzing organizational and political challenges.
Health economics researchers should more frequently pursue qualitative investigations to enhance priority setting practices.
