Beschrijving
Over het boek: One of the most controversial issues in many health care systems is health care rationing.

Over het boek: One of the most controversial issues in many health
care systems is health care rationing. In essence, rationing refers
to the denial of - or delay in - access to scarce goods and
services in health care, despite the existence of medical need.
Scarcity of financial and medical resources confronts society with
painful questions. Who should decide which medicine or new
treatment will be covered by social security and on which criteria
such decisions must be based? Can age, for example, be justified as
a selection criterion? Should decision-making be left to health
care policymakers, hospital administrators, or rather, to treating
physicians ('bedside rationing')? Is there a role for individual
patients? These are difficult questions that suggest the need for
transparent and democratic decision-making. In reality, however,
the rationing debate occurs in a sub rosa world, based on imperfect
information, distorted interpretations of effectiveness, and hidden
cost concerns. 'Rationing Health Care. Hard Choices and Unavoidable
Tradeoffs' explores these and other questions from various
perspectives (medicine, philosophy, ethics, economics and law).
Each of the authors' contributions analyses the debate from a
different angle in search of fair and just rationing decisions.
