COST-EFFECTIVENESS: SOME TRENDS IN ANALYSIS,

Abstract

Cost-effectiveness analysis is not a static craft; new approaches and techniques are being proposed constantly. Many of these are primarily computational in nature, but a few are directed toward a better treatment of those aspects of its problems that cannot be handled by purely quantitative methods. The emphasis in this paper will be on the latter. It will not attempt to be comprehensive but will merely note four trends involving, respectively: computers, mathematics, the use of expertise, and procedures to improve acceptance and implementation.
