Neuropsychologists are being increasingly called upon to
demonstrate the value of their services. This edited book
introduces clinical neuropsychologists to the concepts and
challenges involved in conducting cost outcome research. It
provides examples of how such research can be conducted within
clinical neuropsychology and therefore is a "beginning" step in
what must become an interdisciplinary effort. The text suggests
that more than cost effectiveness studies should be considered when
demonstrating the clinical utility of neuropsychological services.
The concept of "objective" and "subjective" markers of value is
emphasized, particularly as it relates to measuring the impact of a
neuropsychological examination. Chapters review the economic
burdens associated with different neurological conditions commonly
seen by neuropsychologists. They also provide examples of how
clinical neuropsychological services to different patient
populations may reduce "costs" and increase "benefits" and suggest
directions for beginning cost outcome research. Furthermore, the
book summarizes the utility of various neuropsychological services
that may be helpful to readers concerned with healthcare economies.
The book is intended as a resource for clinical neuropsychologists
who wish to explain to healthcare providers the value of their
work. It is the first book of the National Academy of
Neuropsychology book series entitled: Neuropsychology: Scientific
Bases and Clinical Application.
