Abstract
Over the past, few decades, health care agencies and insurers have responded to rapid escalation of health care cost by evaluating and selecting treatment modalities which provide favorable outcomes at a reasonable price. This ratio of resources spent to treatment outcome is known as costs-effectiveness. Data obtained from cost-effectiveness research not only provide the health care administrator with evaluative information about program worth, but also encourage accountability on the part of the therapist. This article gives an introduction to the definition and basic components of cost-effectiveness, and an example of primary steps required to obtain cost-effectiveness figures relative to music therapy treatment.
