| Article Title: | Research priorities in health economics and funding for palliative care: Views of an international think tank |
| Abstract: | At the conclusion of the November 2007 meeting, the assembled international expert group identified the research agenda. The adoption of this agenda would take forward health economic research in palliative care, and generate the necessary data for improved funding decision making, and resource allocation. Recommendations for study included international comparative research into the components of care and settings, evaluative studies, methodologic development and strategies to initiate studies, and make better use of data. © 2009 U.S. Cancer Pain Relief Committee. |
