Dit boek heeft 2 doelstellingen. Ten eerste wil het een positieve visie overbrengen omtrent de rol van het economisch denken in de gezondheidszorg. Economie staat te veel synomiem met besparen en financiële druk. Economie gaat echter over het optimaal besteden van de beschikbare financiële middelen. Een goede toepassing van het economisch denken in de gezondheidszorg houdt in dat men de gezondheidsector als een productieve sector beschouwt, met als doel gezondheid te produceren, door ervoor te zorgen dat mensen langer en gezonder leven. Maar wie zegt "productief" zegt ook "productiviteit": de maatschappij moet met de beschikbare middelen trachten zoveel mogelijk gezondheid te winnen, en daarom moet men voorrang geven aan interventies (preventief of curatief) die per geïnvesteerde Euro het meest gezondheid opleveren. De methode die gehanteerd wordt bij het maken van dergelijke keuzes, is de gezondheidseconomische evaluatie. En dat brengt ons bij de tweede doelstelling van het boek, met name deze methode van gezondheidseconomische evaluatie uitdiepen en uitleggen. Steeds meer worden niet-economen geconfronteerd met resultaten van dergelijke evaluaties, bv. in medische tijdschriften. Maar ze slaan die artikels vaak over, want onbekend is onbemind. Dit boek wil daar wat aan doen. Op die manier worden niet-economen gewapend om mee te praten en in debat te treden over de keuzes in de zorg. Inhoudsopgave : 1. Het nut van de gezondheidseconomische evaluatie 2. Definities en principes 3. Methoden voor economische evaluaties 4. Richtlijnen voor het uitvoeren en de beoordeling van economische evaluaties 5. Problemen met de interpretatie en implementatie van gezondheidseconomische evaluaties, en slotbedenkingen

This book takes as a starting point that welfare states in developed societies do not provide systems of social insurance against the risk of an early death. In contrast to the way in which economically developed countries provide ways of insuring citizens against other possibilities, such as unemployment and disease, no such social insurance mechanism exists for early death. It aims to demonstrate that, despite the impossibility to compensate the victims of a short life once they are identified, and despite the impossibility to identify the persons who will be short-lived (when they are still alive), it is nonetheless possible to construct a social insurance against the risk of a short life by means of age-based statistical discrimination favouring all young persons. Combining philosophical literature with economic analysis, the book re-examines the ethical foundations of social insurance, and proposes a major reform of the welfare state: the construction of a social insurance against a short life. It shows how such an insurance system could be constructed by partially ‘reversing’ existing pension systems, by offering a period of retirement to all young adults before they start their career. Such a ‘reversed’ pension system would allocate more free time and opportunities to younger members of society before they enter the labour market, and, hence, this system would also improve the lives of the – unidentified – young persons who will turn out to die prematurely. The book discusses the social desirability of this new system, as well as its financial feasibility and societal consequences, examining how pension allowances paid to young adults may be financed by the work of senior workers. As such, this book demonstrates how the universal uncertainty about the duration of life can be reconciled with the idea of social justice. With an accessible and interdisciplinary approach, this book will be of interest to academics working in a range of fields, including economics, public finance, social insurance, the economics of ageing and the welfare state, economic ethics and political philosophy. Gregory Ponthiere is a Professor of Economics and Philosophy at the Université catholique de Louvain, Hoover Chair in Economic and Social Ethics. .

This book explores the emerging economic reality of health data pools from the perspective of European Union policy and law. The contractual sharing of health data for research purposes is giving rise to a free movement of research data, which is strongly encouraged at European policy level within the Digital Single Market Strategy. However, it has also a strong impact on data subjects fundamental right to data protection and smaller businesses and research entities ability to carry out research and compete in innovation markets. Accordingly the work questions under which conditions health data sharing is lawful under European data protection and competition law. For these purposes, the work addresses the following sub-questions: i) which is the emerging innovation paradigm in digital health research?; ii) how are health data pools addressed at European policy level?; iii) do European data protection and competition law promote health data-driven innovation objectives, and how?; iv) which are the limits posed by the two frameworks to the free pooling of health data? The underlying assumption of the work is that both branches of European Union law are key regulatory tools for the creation of a common European health data space as envisaged in the Commissions 2020 European strategy for data. It thus demonstrates that both European data protection law, as defined under the General Data Protection Regulation, and European competition law and policy set research enabling regimes regarding health data, provided specific normative conditions are met. From a further perspective, both regulatory frameworks place external limits to the freedom to share (or not share) research valuable data. .
