| Report on Health Care Costing: Data, Methods, Future Directions (200907-20) The National Cancer Institute (NCI), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) are pleased to announce the publication of Health Care Costing: Data, Methods, Future Directions, published July 2009, Volume 47, Issue 7, Supplement 1 in Medical Care. Accurate measurement of health care costs is critical for developing health care budgets, setting priorities for allocating funds, and making health care policy decisions. Estimates of these costs are key inputs to cost-effectiveness analyses and other economic evaluations. The supplement takes a careful look at diverse methodologic issues related to this timely and important topic. Written by experts in health economics, epidemiology, health services research, and biostatistics, the papers discuss ways to improve and apply health care cost estimation methods and promote research in this area. The supplement was developed by scientists at the NCI, the AHRQ, the VA, and Emory University. It was based on a 2007 workshop sponsored by the NCI and the AHRQ.
