Understanding Health Outcomes and Pharmacoeconomics presents an overview of the tools used to assess patient-related health status including associated health outcomes and the analyses that are used to determine cost-effectiveness in evaluating pharmacotherapeutic interventions to improve health. Including data and examples from several different countries, this comprehensive text will help students understand the basis for decisions made at the local and governmental level that impact the use of pharmaceuticals and provide a strong foundation for understanding the principles used in cost-effective decision making. With commentaries, cases studies, and highlighting international differences, this text concludes with a discussion of the need for a universal system for documenting medication use. Understanding Health Outcomes and Pharmacoeconomics provides definitions of comparative effectiveness research (CER) and comparisons of pharmacoeconomic models (including cost-effectivess, cost-benefit, and cost utility analyses). This inclusive text provides describes how CER is linked to various pharmacoeconomic models by providing examples from clinical trials with comparative pharmacotherapy and cost parameters. From the Introduction: “The need for interprofessional education was made apparent in the 2003 Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality report. All healthcare professionals must be educated to deliver patient-centered care as members of an interprofessional team, emphasizing evidence-based practice, quality improvement approaches, and informatics. An enhanced understanding of pharmacoeconomic principles is a step in the right direction for healthcare practitioners as we do our best to ensure optimal medication therapy outcomes for patients and society at-large.” ― George E. MacKinnon III, PhD, RPh, FASHP

This book is amazing. The stats part should be a book on it's own. If you got "stats problems", this is pretty amazing stuff. better than actual states books. It is not an easy read, you have to think, but this is one I will keep and not resell because I will be using it!
I enjoy epidemiology, and this book is a very good text for nursing students. I learned a lot of information that I had never known during this course and while reading this book.
My background is in epidemiology but i am working in a job where a lot of my work crosses over into the realm of pharmacoeconomics. I bought this book to brush up on some of the topics that are unique to that field. This was a good overview of what's "out there" but certainly would not prepare you for any applied use of these topics. That is not a bad thing, just understand what you're getting: a good intro to the basic topics of pharmacoeconomics and health outcomes research.
The book is ok. But it really needs to be available electronically!
This is a book that takes you from the history of earliest epidemiology to diagramming, study development, current and future trends in Epidemiology.
The math examples are a little more complicated than they should be- but the book overall gets the point across.
I love it. Product is as accurate and useful as the descriptions and reviews indicated it would be.
Interesting. Although the chapters are on the shorter side, it can be difficult to stay focused
