Economics of Health Innovation

Introduction

 

Economic analyses of clinical and administrative innovations become more than ever important in the healthcare industry. There are two reasons. First, healthcare markets have become more competitive.

Instead of hospital or physician shortages, there are patient shortages.

This increases the pressure on healthcare organizations to compete on the basis of price, making economic analysis of innovations more important. Second, the shifts toward value-based reimbursement and capitation make reducing costs a much more important management strategy. Billing rules no longer determine what is profitable. Organizations need to assess what changes are efficient.
