Comprehensive Care for People with Epilepsy
Describes an approach to diagnosing and treating people with epilepsy (though not confined to this condition) with a view of the patient as an integral human being, comprising both their seizures and the psychical and social situation. This book inquires into every treatment's goals, whilst including the patients' (and their relatives') subjective evaluations and perspectives. This includes early considerations of benefits versus risks for the patient, the ultimate question being what quality of life will be attained and how much independent life and employment will be feasible. Comprehensive Care does not necessarily need to be associated with elevated cost, as many epilepsy centres have enough knowledge, imagination, and staff for this purpose, the problem being how to combine and use existing resources most effectively.
Cost-Effectiveness of Treatment for Tobacco Dependence
Good decisions on which health interventions to invest can be facilitated by high quality evaluations of the cost-effectiveness of interventions. Although there are several reviews of evaluations of the cost-effectiveness of smoking cessation programs, the reviews have had little to say about the quality of the studies. The present study tries to fill this gap by thoroughly evaluating the quality of economic evaluations of interventions to reduc e tobacco consumption. First, the general characteristics of all the studies reviewed are described, and then the quality of epidemiological characteristics and of the economic evaluation is analyzed, using a criteria list proposed by Drummond et al....
Medical Informatics Europe ’90
The software has been developed in Smalltalk80 [1] on SUN and Apple Macintosh computers. Smalltalk80 is an object-oriented programming system which permits rapid prototyping. The need for prototyping in the specification of general practitioner systems was highlighted as long ago as 1980 [4] and is essential to the user -centred philosophy of the project. The goal is a hardware independent system usable on any equipment capable of supporting an integrated environment for handling both textual and graphics and 'point and select' interaction. The architecture is extensible and provides a platform for future experimention with technical advances such as touch screens and voice technology. User ...
Setting Priorities in Health Care

Modeling the AIDS Epidemic
Emerging from the 34th Joint National Meeting of the Operations Research Society of America and The Institute of Management Sciences, held in San Francisco, November 1992, this volume presents AIDS modeling research that can directly or indirectly improve decision making for planning, resource allocation, and public health policy. The volume is divided into four sections: AIDS policy modeling; models for AIDS backcasting and forecasting; modeling infectivity and disease progression; and modeling the social organization of risky behavior.

Health Technology Assessment and Diffusion of Health Technology
Poulsen (health economics, U. of Southern Denmark), after discussing the international theoretical and historical development of the form of policy research that examine the short-and long-term social consequences of the application of certain technologies, explains models of innovation and diffusion of technology in economics and sociology. He then treats a case study of the diffusion of laparoscopic technologies in Denmark and presents an economic analysis of diffusion. Finally, he presents policy recommendations for Denmark based on his empirical findings.
