Main Results:

  • Norway can learn from Oregon's explicit prioritization.
  • Oregon's exclusion of disease severity leads to counterintuitive rankings.
  • Oregon's system may be rigid and unfair to individuals.

Conclusions:

  • The Norwegian system offers corrective elements to Oregon's plan.
  • Oregon's prioritization needs to incorporate disease severity.
  • A more flexible selection rule is needed to address rigidity in Oregon's system.
