Random paired scenarios--a method for investigating attitudes to prioritisation in medicine.

“…The authors concluded that reliability was "good". 186 Ryynanen and colleagues 186 found comparable results in terms of criterion validity between conventional and RPS questionnaires in an undergraduate student population.…”

“…This was concerned with the importance of different characteristics of patients when deciding on the allocation of scarce healthcare resources. 186 Characteristics identified as important were age (child, old patient), income (poor, rich patient), severity of disease (mild, severe), prognosis (good, poor), social status (low, high), cost of treatment (inexpensive, expensive) and origin of disease (self-acquired or not). In all, 24 hypothetical patients were created, each one containing three different characteristics of patients randomly selected from the list of six (e.g.…”

Health Technology Assessment is indexed in Index Medicus/MEDLINE and Excerpta Medica/ EMBASE. Copies of the Executive Summaries are available from the NCCHTA website (see opposite). NHS R&D HTA Programme T he NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme was set up in 1993 to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. Initially, six HTA panels (pharmaceuticals, acute sector, primary and community care, diagnostics and imaging, population screening, methodology) helped to set the research priorities for the HTA Programme. However, during the past few years there have been a number of changes in and around NHS R&D, such as the establishment of the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the creation of three new research programmes: Service Delivery and Organisation (SDO); New and Emerging Applications of Technology (NEAT); and the Methodology Programme. Although the National Coordinating Centre for Health Technology Assessment (NCCHTA) commissions research on behalf of the Methodology Programme, it is the Methodology Group that now considers and advises the Methodology Programme Director on the best research projects to pursue. The research reported in this monograph was funded as project number 96/49/04. The views expressed in this publication are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the Methodology Programme, HTA Programme or the Department of Health. The editors wish to emphasise that funding and publication of this research by the NHS should not be taken as implicit support for any recommendations made by the authors. Criteria for inclusion in the HTA monograph series Reports are published in the HTA monograph series if (1) they have resulted from work commissioned for the HTA Programme, and (2) they are of a sufficiently high scientific quality as assessed by the referees and editors. Reviews in Health Technology Assessment are termed 'systematic' when the account of the search, appraisal and synthesis methods (to minimise biases and random errors) would, in theory, permit the replication of the review by others.

“…Studies to date have been limited to physicians' attitudes regarding resource allocation [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] and surveys of their intended practices using hypothetical scenarios. [18][19][20] We report on an analysis of cases in which US physicians reported difficulties with resource allocation in clinical practice. Our aim is to describe the type of ethical difficulties reported regarding resource allocation, the strategies used by responding physicians to resolve them, and their rationales.…”
