- Title
Priority setting: lessons from Oregon.
- Authors
Dixon, J; Welch, H G
- Abstract
The state of Oregon has developed a unique method to set priorities for health services. The method is based on a cost-utility formula but also incorporates public attitudes and values. Using an explicit process, the Oregon Health Services Commission has completed the ranking of 714 condition-treatment pairs. The background, methods, and criticisms of the Oregon approach highlight key questions for managers and physicians in other health services when they allocate limited resources.
