The goal of this chapter is to sketch out a theoretical frontier model capable of estimating the production of well-being from healthcare interventions. The model is multidimensional in nature and takes a starting point in the utilization of healthcare interventions to produce a change in disease severity. Data from the Swedish National Register for Systemic Treatment of Psoriasis (PsoReg) are utilized to illustrate the model.
Healthcare is inextricably bound to productivity, efficiency, and economic development. Although many methods for analyzing productivity and efficiency have been extensively covered, relatively little focus has been placed on how those methods can be applied to health care in a coherent and comprehensive manner. The Cambridge Handbook of Healthcare outlines current foundations and states of the art on which future research can build. It brings together experts in this growing field to cover three key sources and aspects of human welfare – productivity, efficiency, and healthcare. Each chapter is dedicated to a particular topic and delivered by international experts on that topic.
