The chapters reflect the 'state of the art' methodologies in which HERU has played, and still plays, a leading developmental role.  \u003cp\u003eHERU was established at the University of Aberdeen in 1977 to develop new methods within health economics and to encourage the use of the techniques of economic appraisal within the health service. As such, it was the first research unit in Europe focussing solely on Health Economics. The importance of the Unit's work cannot be underestimated and all health economists as well as those working within the health service and the field of health policy will benefit from reading this text and appreciating HERU's contribution to the field.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdvances in Health Economics\u003c\/i\u003e does not only reflect on the past 25 years, but is also a driving force for the next 25.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ereflects the distinct and unique contribution of HERU to Health Economics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eaddresses policy issues existing within the health service\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eidentifies a programme for future research\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e Themes covered include  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003emethodologies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eperformance and behaviour\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eequity in health care\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47988681670885,"sku":"NP9780470848838","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470848838.jpg?v=1761781225","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/advances-in-health-economics-isbn-9780470848838","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
