  • Title: [Rationing health care by thresholds for clinical benefit and its acceptance by the German population].
    Author: Schöne-Seifert B, Friedrich DR, Diederich A.
    Journal: Z Evid Fortbild Qual Gesundhwes; 2012; 106(6):426-34. PubMed ID: 22857730.
    Abstract:
    Fair rationing in publicly accessible health care has become a subject of current international debate. One suggestion is to cut reimbursement for any medical intervention below some threshold of small clinical benefit. One can further differentiate between thresholds of small expectable clinical benefit as such and thresholds of low chances for clinical success. Public acceptance of both types of thresholds has been tested in a population survey. Results are presented and discussed in this paper. (As supplied by publisher).
