Full Description

This exam discusses the fundamental principles of cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) and its role in healthcare decision-making processes. Emphasis will be placed on understanding different thresholds and implications for actionable insights.

Cost-effectiveness analysis is essential for optimizing healthcare resources in the face of limited budgets, assisting decision-makers in prioritizing interventions that yield the best health outcomes relative to costs.
