Evidence-based medicine and cost-effectiveness analysis
1Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, New York, USA.
Abstract:
Health care has become increasingly expensive and clinicians have come under increased scrutiny to critically appraise the economic impact of medical programs and interventions. To ensure an equitable allocation of scarce resources and the attainment of maximal clinical benefit, it is vital to adhere to certain basic tenets of economic analysis and to understand the basic approach to cost-effectiveness analysis. These principles are applied to critical care medicine and analogies are made to the methodological rigor of evidence-based medicine.
