Key Dimensions in Health Plan Evaluation
Professor discusses health plan criteria: effectiveness, efficiency, equity, and resource allocation challenges, emphasizing clinical and population levels.
Health plans undergo evaluation based on three critical dimensions: effectiveness, efficiency, and equity, with evaluations conducted at both clinical and population levels. And clinical effectiveness primarily concerns individual health outcomes, while population effectiveness aims at broader health enhancements.
Efficiency in service delivery encompasses both production and allocative efficiency to ensure cost-effectiveness. Equity considerations address fair distribution of services and reduction of disparities, covering procedural and substantive aspects. These evaluations become especially crucial during resource allocation challenges, notably in public health crises such as COVID-19.
