Ep 243: Health economics explainer for the clinician (part 2), with Dr Codie Primeau

Welcome back to this explainer on health economics analyses in musculoskeletal rehabilitation.

In part 1, Dr Codie Primeau explained the things you're looking for when reading a health economics analysis, to decide whether it's a good quality analysis. That's important because a good quality analysis can help you make decisions about whether the intervention being studied is worth considering.

Today in part 2, we take things a step further to explore how you decide what "worthwhile" really means. Worth it for whom? The patient, your clinic, the health system, or even society?
