Abstract

During recent years, a concern for the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare systems has been developing [1–4]. Such concerns have been fuelled by the increasing expenditure for healthcare in most countries, especially considering the aging populations that will certainly drive the expenditures higher. At the same time, many questions have been raised about the benefits and risks of healthcare. The main concern might be summarised as assuring “value for money in healthcare” [5].
