In
the realm of health economics and policy analysis, one ongoing topic of
considerable interest is the improvement and refinement of
methodologies and frameworks to better understand the complex
interactions between interventions, well-being, and resource allocation.
The explicit measurement and quantification of broader outcome measures
in health decision making (including, but not limited to, health
technology assessment) is attractive in many regards. In particular, as
described by Brazier and Tsuchiya,
outcomes beyond health are important, not well measured using our
existing tools, and might be better addressed if we have a system that
allows cross-sector comparisons. This view is reflected in the interest
in extending the assessment of value in healthcare beyond health
improvement. In this themed section “From Health to Welfare,” we include
6 studies that contribute to this ongoing discourse, each offering
insights into different facets of economic evaluation aimed to
incorporate well-being beyond traditional health outcomes into decision
making.
