Driving efficient, equitable and affordable health services
Demand for health services and technologies is increasing in our region and globally. To meet the health and wellbeing needs of our communities, healthcare resources must be allocated efficiently and equitably.
The HMRI Health Economics team uses advanced health economics methods to provide clear, actionable evidence that guides resource allocation decisions in healthcare and government policy.
We evaluate proposed or actual health service changes across our Hunter New England region, NSW and nationally. Our services provide decision-makers with evidence-based insights, equipping them with the information they need to invest into innovations that deliver the best outcomes for patients and return on investment for our community.
