In this assignment you will examine how economic evaluation and value judgments are used for the valuation and financing of health care services. Health care funding and finance models have changed over time and continue to change in an effort to provide affordable, quality health care. Market factors, payment mechanisms, government regulations, and national trends affect U.S. health care financing and funding models. You will develop a PowerPoint presentation to assess health care funding and finance models, and the variables that affect the economic evaluation and value judgments used to develop those models.

Question

Evaluating how socially optimal outcomes are used to determine value judgments for the allocation of resources in terms of populations covered, services included, financing arrangements, reimbursement strategies, and economic competition policies.
