'More and more, requests for additional facilities will have to be based on detailed arguments with "hard evidence" as to the gain to be expected from the patient's angle and the cost. Few could possibly object to this.'
These words are as true today as when they were written. Evidence-based clinical practice isolated from economic issues is not a realistic goal. Furthermore, narrow evidence-based medicine methodologies may lead to an inefficient health policy and greater inequalities in health.
Evidence-based Health Economics recognises these issues and has brought together some of the world's leading thinkers and practitioners of economic evaluation in health care, all of whom have been involved with the "evidence-based movement", as participants, critics or both.
These experts demosntrate not only the need for the use of evidence-based principles in economic evaluation but also that such principles should themselves be based on health economics. Case studies are outlined which show how to bring economic evaluation and systematic review together and how to use such evaluations in the clinical setting. The book also shows how economics can be used to broaden the evidence base for a more efficient and equitable health policy, and sets a future research agenda for this challenging area of work.

From the Back Cover
In Evidence Based Health Economics, some of the world's leading economic evaluation thinkers and practitioners demonstrate both the need for evidence based principles in economic evaluation, and the necessity for such principles to be based on health economics.
The book shows how economics may broaden the evidence base for a more efficient and equitable health policy, and uses case studies to show how evaluation and systematic review work in the clinical setting. Setting out a research agenda, the book looks to the future of evidence based health economics.
Edited and written by leading participants in the Cochrane Collaboration s Economics Methods Group the text is essential reading for all health service professionals, policy makers, clinical researchers, systematic reviewers and health economists interested in this area.
