By relating health care resources and their use to health outcomes, through a coherent macro resource allocation framework, one can examine the health care system for allocative efficiencies. In this article, costs and outcomes are analyzed in such a framework, scenarios for optimizing the use of health care resources--while still maintaining existing health outcomes--are explored, and the implications for ambulatory care are discussed. The research clearly shows that much can be done to make health care systems more efficient without jeopardizing health outcomes.
通过一个连贯的宏观资源分配框架,将医疗保健资源及其使用与健康结果联系起来,人们可以考察医疗保健系统的分配效率。在本文中,在这样一个框架内分析了成本和结果,探索了在保持现有健康结果的同时优化医疗保健资源使用的方案,并讨论了对门诊医疗的影响。该研究清楚地表明,在不危及健康结果的情况下,可以采取很多措施来提高医疗保健系统的效率。
