Abstract
Among evidence based medicine oriented to individual clinical practice, and health technology evaluation (HTE), support for decision making in health; there is a long way to go. HTE is a bridge between the research field and the world of decision making, in particular health policies.
Called the 4th barrier, economic evaluation (EE) is a part of HTE that involved resource allocation. It’s referred to the comparison of alternatives taking account the benefits (health gains, quality of live, years of live, etc.) that each one of them contribute and their costs (necessary resources) to choose the most rentable option for the entire society.
There are assisted prescription models based on a rational use of innovate drugs using evidence and efficiency criteria, developed through Clinical Practice Guidelines and with a continuous evaluation of results.
The objective is to evolve in the understanding of those drugs with clinical, financial and social uncertainty to improve the innovation access decisions.
