Abstract

Managed care, guidelines, human capital approach and prevalence are terms that have already been widely used in health economics. A general definition is however often not yet available and you will probably find numerous definitions for related terms. On the one hand, there is the problem of finding a fitting location for explanation in the widely available literature, since health economics has developed into an independent and very innovative research field over the last 20 years. On the other hand, you will have to adapt the information to a given situation. With this series, we would like to give the interested reader an overview, in small steps, of the most commonly used terms in the field of health economics. We begin with the terms "rationing" and "guidelines" in this edition. In each new edition of this journal we will then explain two new terms at different locations. A small health economics dictionary will be introduced at the end of the year, in which we will define additional terms, and where we will even further classify the main words that have been outlined in this series.
