Economic Evaluations of Health Programs

Economic Evaluations of Health Programs

Program planners and evaluators need a basic understanding of economic evaluation. In addition, they may be faced with certain ethical issues. Interview your local healthcare professionals and evaluators. Based on your interactions, provide responses to the following:

• Analyze and select two types of economic evaluations. Compare the two evaluations, in relation to the factors that may affect the decision to conduct each of the economic evaluations.
• Describe at least two potential ethical and social issues related to program implementation.
• Explain the approach(s) you might take to address these ethical issues.
