Treball Final de Grau en Economia. Codi: EC1049. Curs acadèmic: 2021/2022 The aim of this paper is to present and reflect on certain conceptual and situational elements that influence the discipline of health economics. First, it looks at the macroeconomic environment, where the necessary interrelationship between health and the economy means receiving resources, providing quality of life and, therefore, obtaining a longer life expectancy, which translates into more resources for society. In a second step, activities and options between different financing models are considered in the search for greater efficiency. Thus, different ways of recognising this are evaluated, such as research and innovation, which are key elements in achieving optimal results, within the framework of sustainable human development. To this end, the document is divided into sections, which serve as a reference on what is happening in Spain, Europe and the United States, the main reforms that have been carried out in the health sector, perspectives at the beginning of the 21st century, and policy and strategies. Finally, the document contains open questions, with the aim of provoking analysis and debate, from which conclusions and recommendations will emerge. |
