Experts views on arbitration between health and costs

 

The existence of constraints on budgetary resources has led public authorities to rely upon specific tools to optimize the set of treatment and health services available to any insured individuals. To meet this objective of efficient management under this budget constraint, it is required to consider the cost along with the expected benefits of any new investment. The economic evaluation of new health interventions comparing the effectiveness and cost of innovative interventions with conventional interventions is key to comply with the aim of an efficient allocation of resources. In particular, the concept of QALY, which jointly measures the gained life years and the quality of life of those additional life years has become the preferred tool for the comparison between new treatments across different pathologies. The use of QALYs leads the researcher to undertake a cost-utility analysis.

This panel brought together two experts in health economics, who will discuss the issues and challenges associated with cost-utility studies in health by illustrating them from British, French and Quebec studies.

Roxane Borgès Da Silva

A CIRANO Researcher and Fellow since 2015, Vice-President Research Funding, responsible of the CIRANO Pole on the Efficiency of Health Services and Policies and Main Researcher of the theme Demography and Health, Roxane Borgès Da Silva is Associate Professor in the Department of Management, Evaluation and Health Policy at the École de santé publique de l'Université de Montréal.

Holding a Ph.D. in Health Administration from the Université de Montréal, her research interests focus on the analysis and evaluation of health service organization and the development of performance and quality indicators. She is particularly interested in the evolution of the organization of front-line services and its effects on the use of population health services. She is also interested in the effects of health policies related to the organization of health services, professional practices and collaborations.
