Health Economics Information Resources: A Self-Study Course

Module 4: An Introduction to the Principles of Critical Appraisal of Health Economic Evaluation Studies

Sample critical appraisal exercise: An economic evaluation of thrombolysis in the community: Summing Up

The study does not fully answer questions of either technical or allocative efficiency. However it does provide some information which may be employed towards making a decision.

The study does not address the technical efficiency question because there is no defined budget – no indication of how wide the budget could be; e.g., treatment of AMI, or just thrombolysis, or cardiac care.

Even if a budget were defined, the study is still not sufficient to address technical efficiency.
