Module Overview

Public Health Policy as it relates to economics is concerned with issues related to scarcity in the allocation of health and health care. Governments tend to heavily regulate the Healthcare industry and also tend to be the largest payer within the market. Uncertainty is intrinsic to health, both in patient outcomes and financial concerns.

The knowledge gap that exists between a physician and a patient creates a situation of distinct advantage for the physician, which is called Asymmetric Knowledge. Finally, there are many effects that happen between two parties without monetary compensation, called externalities, within healthcare, from catching a cold from someone to practicing safe sex.

The scope of this issue is neatly encapsulated by Alan William's 'plumbing diagram' dividing the discipline into eight distinct topics:

1. What influences health? (other than health care)

2. What is health and what is its value?

3. The demand for health care (e.g. occupational health and carpal tunnel syndrome)

4. The supply of health care (rapid diagnosis with innovative new method)

5. Evaluation at whole system level; and, (innovations are changing operational processes)

6. Planning, budgeting and monitoring mechanisms. (cities and municipalities)

In Module 4 we will look in depth at the issues of Public Health Policy and Economics.
