Health regions in Canada are responsible for meeting the needs of local populations with limited resources. However, relatively little attention has been given to this within-region resource allocation problem. An economic approach to needs assessment, namely program budgeting and marginal analysis, may be of benefit. Its potential for use in Canada is examined, in particular with examples from two Alberta health regions, the Calgary Regional Health Authority and the Chinook Health Region.
加拿大的卫生区域负责以有限的资源满足当地居民的需求。然而，对于区域内的资源分配问题，人们相对关注较少。一种基于经济方法的需求评估，即规划预算和边际分析，可能会有所帮助。本文探讨了其在加拿大的应用潜力，特别是以阿尔伯塔省的两个卫生区域，卡尔加里地区卫生局和奇努克卫生区域为例进行说明。
