title: Methods to establish priorities for health care.
abstract: There is no right way to rank health care projects or patients requiring treatment. Different people or interests, either explicitly or implicitly, adopt different criteria: medical, economic, ethical, or political. This paper discusses the nature of these criteria and presents some strategies for improving our processes for setting priorities for health care expenditure.
