Resumen

Como ya se ha dicho en anteriores capítulos de este libro, en los últimos años se ha incrementado de manera exponencial el n úmero de evaluaciones económicas efectuadas y publicadas, debido en gran parte a la existencia de muchos países que emplean el criterio de la eficiencia en la toma de decisiones en política sanitaria. Dado que cada vez hay más evaluaciones económicas disponibles, cuando un profesional sanitario u otro decisor necesitan conocer datos de costeefectividad en su medio de influencia, antes de decidirse a efectuar una evaluación económica nueva, es lógico y coherente mirar a su alrededor y ver si existe algún análisis económico que le pueda servir para obtener los datos que necesita. Si los encuentra, deberá intentar generalizar y transferir estos datos al entorno donde esté y donde tiene que tomar la decisión, ya que de esta manera dispondrá de los datos de eficiencia mucho antes y con un coste mucho menor.

Hacer o no hacer algo, sólo depende de nuestra voluntad y perseverancia.

Albert Einstein
