Description

Explore the ethical complexities of allocating limited health care resources through this critical evaluation of the QALY (Quality-Adjusted Life Year) approach. This Medico-Legal Series volume addresses the fundamental challenge of comparing vastly different health care achievements - from extending children's and older people's lives to restoring mobility, reducing terminal illness suffering, and alleviating chronic pain and distress. The book examines how society can fairly prioritise diverse health outcomes when resources are finite and demands are infinite. Written by Routledge, a leading publisher of academic works, this volume provides essential frameworks for medical professionals, ethicists, policy makers and healthcare administrators seeking to understand systematic methods for equitable resource distribution. Whether you work in health economics, medical ethics, law, or public health administration, this Medico-Legal Series title offers rigorous analysis of one of modern medicine's most pressing challenges: creating defensible criteria for allocation decisions that affect real patients and populations.

Key Features

The Allocation of Health Care Resources examines the QALY approach as a systematic method for comparing and prioritising different types of health care outcomes.

Published by Routledge in the Medico-Legal Series, this volume combines medical ethics, law and health policy analysis for professionals in clinical and administrative roles.

Addresses real-world allocation dilemmas including life extension for children and elderly patients, restoration of physical function and palliative care for terminal illness.

Provides essential reading for health economists, medical ethicists, policy makers and healthcare administrators navigating resource scarcity and competing patient needs.
