Health Econ Policy Law. 2023 Aug 22:1-11. doi: 10.1017/S1744133123000130. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere are significant barriers to accessing health and social care services in Ireland including high user charges, long waits and limited availability of some services. While a number of reform proposals have committed to improving access to health care, implementation of these proposals has been limited.

Understanding household healthcare expenditure can promote health policy reform
Health Econ Policy Law. 2023 Aug 17:1-24. doi: 10.1017/S1744133123000129. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStudies of health care expenditure often exclude explanatory variables measuring wealth, despite the intuitive importance and policy relevance. We use the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey to assess impacts of income and wealth on health expenditure. We investigate four different dependent variables related to health expenditure and use three main methodological approaches. These approaches include a first difference model and introduction of a lagged dependent variable into a cross-sectional cont...

Ten years of German benefit assessment: price analysis for drugs with unproven additional benefit
CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis shows that making price negotiations more flexible by law does not undermine the fundamental aim of the AMNOG, which is to avoid additional expenditure without increased patient benefit. The regulation can thus fulfill the objective provided by the legislature of keeping drugs without proven additional benefits in the German healthcare system.PMID:37577932 | DOI:10.1017/S1744133123000117 (Source: Health Economics, Policy, and Law)

Emergency care reconfiguration in the Netherlands: conflicting interests and trade-offs from a multidisciplinary perspective
Health Econ Policy Law. 2023 Jun 26:1-17. doi: 10.1017/S1744133123000099. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMany countries are reconfiguring their emergency care systems to improve quality and efficiency of care, and this often includes the concentration of emergency departments (EDs). This trend is evident in the Netherlands, but the best approach is the subject of debate among stakeholders. We (i) examined the views of stakeholders on the concentration of EDs in the Netherlands and (ii) identified the main conflicting interests and trade-offs that are relevant for health policy. To do this, we organised focus groups and semi...
