Health Policy and Management
The following courses will be beneficial to those
who have responsibility for planning the
organisation and delivery of health and social
care services.
Health Economics
This short course looks at the role of economic
principles in understanding behaviour of users
and providers of healthcare, in setting priorities
and in financing access to care. Key issues to
be examined include: the ways in which
individuals respond to incentives; how we can
best set healthcare priorities by evaluating the
costs and effectiveness of healthcare
interventions; and what are the advantages and
disadvantages of different ways of financing
health services. By the end of the course,
participants should:
•
Understand principles of demand and
elasticity as applied to health and healthcare,
and the implications for policies on charging
for services and health promotion.
•
Appreciate options for financing health
services, and how different methods affect
access to care and performance of providers
of care.
•
Describe the methods used in economic
evaluation of health.
