Assessments of health care needs are embedded in contracts for health services. Such contracts are the formal link between the identification of health care needs and the purchasing of services to satisfy those needs. They are a central part of the procedural relationship between the British health service (NHS) and the satisfaction of human needs. To evaluate contracts it is necessary to investigate this relationship. A number of headings under which it may be possible to begin to evaluate contracts are described, and the potential of a 'universalist' approach to interrogate contract-based decision-making is briefly discussed.
医疗保健需求评估被纳入医疗服务合同之中。此类合同是确定医疗保健需求与购买满足这些需求的服务之间的正式纽带。它们是英国医疗服务体系（国民保健制度，NHS）与人类需求满足之间程序关系的核心部分。为了评估合同，有必要对这种关系进行调查。文中描述了一些可用于开始评估合同的标题，并简要讨论了采用“普遍主义”方法审视基于合同的决策的潜力。
