Priorities and targets: supporting target-setting in healthcare

Setting Healthcare Priorities at the Macro and Meso Levels: A Framework for Evaluation

Background Priority setting in healthcare is a key determinant of health system performance. However, there is no widely accepted priority setting evaluation framework. We reviewed literature with the aim of developing and proposing a framework for the evaluation of macro and meso level healthcare priority setting practices.   Methods We systematically searched Econlit, PubMed, CINAHL, and EBSC...

Setting healthcare priorities in hospitals: a review of empirical studies

Priority setting research has focused on the macro (national) and micro (bedside) level, leaving the meso (institutional, hospital) level relatively neglected. This is surprising given the key role that hospitals play in the delivery of healthcare services and the large proportion of health systems resources that they absorb. To explore the factors that impact upon priority setting at the hospi...
