Abstract

Health economists are increasingly interested in integrated care for chronic diseases. This is because the rapidly increasing prevalence of chronic diseases reduces population’s health, increases the demand for health and social care (WHO 2011) and has macroeconomic consequences for consumption, capital accumulation, labour productivity and labour supply (Busse et al. 2010). Health economists support healthcare decision makers with evidence in finding an adequate response to these challenges by investigating the efficiency of health care interventions, studying their financing mechanisms, and advocating the efficient allocation of scarce resources. This chapter discusses the challenging in the economic evaluation of integrated care and provides a series of recommendations to overcome them.
