VALENCIA Z Medicina Quality Health Care Medical Care Cost Containment Health Technology Assessment This paper intends to answer the following research question: On which extent are these measures effective and efficient with regard to Cost-containment in health care? A descriptive study is done starting from a revision of the published literature in the European Union member states. With the objective of responding to this question, a description of what health is and also what health care is, which its components of costs in health are, what is understood by Health Technology Assessment and which are their applications and the utility of that this tool represents to control the costs in health. It is described in the health output measurement and which are the mostly used tools to measure the gain in health of the patients after doing an intervention on him/ her in the System of health. A description of the diverse components of Costs-containment is done, which of these are used, how they are used, what impact they have on health systems and finally, it concludes that one of the best tools for the cost-containment is the products that the agencies/offices of Health Technology Assessment generate, products generated from researching interventions on health, assessing its effectiveness, its scientific evidence and the impact on the population¿s health. It is worth mentioning that the products of the Health Technology Assessment Agencies are a fundamental tool for the decision making in the health systems. 2008 artículo científico 0120-8705 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=261120994004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2611 CES Medicina application/pdf Universidad CES CES Medicina (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.22 |
