About this Research Topic
Effective allocation and utilization of resources are fundamental to achieving optimal public health outcomes. Health economics provides valuable insights into how financial resources are allocated across different healthcare sectors and their subsequent effects on health indicators and health-related quality of life. By conducting in-depth reviews of existing research and policy evaluations on public health expenditure and their performance, this Research Topic aims to shed light on best practices, challenges, and innovative approaches to optimize public health expenditure for maximum impact.
Potential topics for review articles may include, but are not limited to:
• Review of health economic evaluation methods applied to public health interventions, including cost-effectiveness, cost-benefit, cost-utility analyses, and budget impacts.
• Assessment of the relationship between public health expenditure and health outcomes, including the impact on disease prevention, healthcare access, and quality of life.
• Evaluation of health financing systems and their influence on healthcare equity and affordability, with a focus on vulnerable and marginalized populations.
• Analysis of the role of public-private partnerships in healthcare funding and service delivery to enhance overall health system performance.
• Review of healthcare budget allocation strategies and their implications for resource allocation in different public health domains.
• Exploration of innovative financing mechanisms, such as social impact bonds and health insurance schemes, to improve healthcare accessibility and efficiency.
• Critique of policy interventions aimed at optimizing public health expenditure and enhancing performance in healthcare service delivery.
This Research Topic focuses on examining the intricate relationship between public health expenditure and performance, using health economics as a lens to evaluate the efficiency, equity, and effectiveness of healthcare systems. By consolidating evidence-based reviews, this Research Topic seeks to provide policymakers, healthcare administrators, and researchers with a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between public health expenditure and performance. It endeavors to inform decision-making processes and promote evidence-driven policies that can lead to better health outcomes, more equitable access to healthcare services, and/or more efficient uses of health resources.
The Reviews in Public Health Expenditure and Performance collection welcomes full-length, mini or systematic review papers.
