Tiivistelmä
What do we know about the cost-effectiveness of personal budgeting?
A personal budget is a sum of money a person can use for social and health care support and services corresponding to their needs, subject to agreed conditions. Experience from personal budgets is mostly good, both internationally and in Finland, but little research evidence is available on their cost-effectiveness. This publication determines the prerequisites for economic evaluation of personal budgets.
It also presents two preliminary economic evaluation study plans that are based on different study designs and different data to provide information on the cost-effectiveness of personal budgets.
This publication is intended for the decision-makers, practitioners and developers in social and health care to raise awareness of cost-effectiveness and economic evaluation, as well as what is needed to study the cost-effectiveness of personal budgets.
