Pharmacoeconomics. Principles and Practice

Authors decided to provide a text which can serve as a quick reference and as an aid to understand papers dealing with pharmacoeconomics and outcomes research, providing a slim basis of the theoretical background, but then exemplifying the concepts through examples taken from the literature, with the ambition to ease a sound acquaintance without the redundancy of technical details.
The result is the present text, which the on-field experience of all involved authors has made, in our opinion, a practical tool that can guide stakeholders involved in the decision making process in health care to a robust insight of the theoretical and methodological aspects of modern pharmacoeconomics.
