Pharmacoeconomics - Principles and Practice #663641

Resource constraints in healthcare and the increasing costs of new treatments have prompted the resorting to pharmacoeconomic studies. New techniques allow to tailor to the specificity of each situation, thus giving back accurate calculations and estimations.
The desire to publish a more updated version of “Pharmacoeconomics. Principle and Practice” fits into this frame and provide readers with the basic principles of this complex discipline. Compared with the version we published 10 years ago, new techniques were described, an entire new chapter about epidemiology was added, and the reference literature and the examples were updated.
The abstracts at the beginning of each chapter have the purpose to provide an overview and ease the finding of information. Readers are given also the possibility to test their knowledge thanks to the Questions and Answers sections.
Last but not least, the entire book underwent peer review, thus ensuring the highest quality level.
