The treatment and the solution of health economic problems by using
management concepts is a permanent challenge; the question of
control ling the costs or the efficiency of the supply of medical
services is concerned. The articles in this book hope to make a
concrete contri bution to this subject by reporting on the latest
research the authors have made in this area. The medical services
involved can either be part of the general provi sion of medical
care and treatment to the population or can be provided by
hospitals which are complex systems of public health care. The divi
sion of the contents of this book reflects this distinction. The
four articles in Part A are concerned with problems of general
health care. Part B is dedicated to particular problems relating to
hospital planning and contains five articles. In Part A the first
article by Heidenberger deals with 'Optimal Resource Allocation in
Horizontally and Vertically Disaggregated Health Programs' Using
corresponding model formulations and linear programming the pro
blem is solved of how a fixed budget should be distributed among
the measures of a social health program so that the control of an
illness is as effective as possible. In the case in question the
illness to be controlled is high blood pressure. The possibilities
for using this type of approach in health programs to combat other
illnesses are ob vious."
