Concept information
Preferred term
government perspective on public health issues
Definition
- The perspective of any decision-making entity determines which costs and outcomes will be included in a decision and is determined by who the audience to the decision is and how that audience will use the information contained in the decision or disseminated as a result of the decision. In questions of government or public health policy, it is usually most appropriate to adopt a societal perspective, because a more narrowly defined perspective will lead to an inefficient allocation of scarce public resources.
