Healthcare Resource Allocation

Healthcare resource allocation refers to the process of distributing limited medical resources—such as funding, staff, equipment, and services—among various healthcare needs and populations. It involves making decisions about where to invest resources to achieve the best outcomes, considering factors like disease burden, population health, and cost-effectiveness. The goal is to ensure that everyone has access to necessary care and that resources are used efficiently to improve overall health. Effective allocation can help prioritize treatments, manage healthcare budgets, and address disparities in care across different communities.
