Etre malade... est aussi parfois un danger pour la santé financière du patient.Les soins de santé sont bien développés en Belgique et sont en principe accessibles à tout le monde. Mais dans certains cas, cette accessibilité peut être problématique. Les frais médicaux peuvent quelquefois être très élevés. Une situation d'autant plus poignante pour quiconque doit vivre avec un faible revenu ou avec une indemnité d'incapacité de travail ou d'invalidité. Dans un premier chapitre, quatre exemples illustrent la façon dont certaines dépenses de santé peuvent grimper, et comment elles peuvent briser l'équilibre financier d'un ménage.La suite de ce dossier est consacrée à un examen des principales mesures qui ont exercé un impact sur les frais à charge du patient au cours des quinze dernières années et à l'analyse des parts publique et privée dans les dépenses et le financement des soins.

Are our patients getting what they want for their health care money? Should we change anything to give our patients more of what they want? Do we even know what they want? When service delivery, patient expectations, and the bottom line are in conflict, quality generally suffers. But such conflict can be minimized, say the editors of Optimizing Health. Answering elusive questions on how quality emerges in medical care, Franz Porzsolt and Robert Kaplan synthesize findings from closely interrelated aspects of clinical practice, clinical epidemiology, health economics, psychology, and ethics. The resulting systems perspective of this timely book merges thinking from clinical medicine and economics to form the hybrid term "CLINECS". The book challenges readers to rethink the standard criteria for assessing benefit to patients, and shows how evidence-based medicine can be incorporated into actual public health settings, clarifying key medical goals regarding patient autonomy. An international panel of experts offers practical, workable guidelines for: -Understanding the value of services from the patient’s point of view -Involving patients in medical decision-making -Avoiding overdiagnosis and overly aggressive treatment -Reconciling outcomes research and clinical research -Measuring patient quality of life—even for those who are cognitively impaired -Improving efficacy and effectiveness throughout the system Optimizing Health outlines an agenda of critical importance to health care professionals, researchers, and policymakers. This vision also makes it a bedrock graduate-level text for tomorrow’s clinicians and administrators. This is material that will be studied, discussed, debated, but most of all, benefited from.
