Brief description The public heath care system in Australia faces ever greater issues around demand (e.g. aging population) and supply (e.g. expensive new interventions). It is becoming ever more important to ensure that the money we spend on health is used efficiently. This study is a unique application that aims to improve the efficiency of the health service by assessing how scarce services can be best organised to maximise health benefits.
