Description: Resource stewardship is recognized as a key social value in Canada's health system. This is enshrined in both legislation1 and a variety of reform initiatives. Canadians want a health system that meets their needs, is informed by evidence and fair, but also one that uses Canadian resources wisely. Cost-effectiveness analysis is one way to think rationally about resource allocation. Cost-effectiveness analysis is now used widely in both low- and high-income countries to inform decisions about drugs, vaccines, medical devices and health programs. In Canada, the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health Common Drug Review and the Ontario Health Technology Advisory Committee are examples of groups that use this analysis for decisions about coverage and reimbursement. Canada spends more than one-tenth of its national wealth on health care and the United States spends nearly a fifth. Advances in science and technology, an aging population, third-party payment and increasing medical specialization are driving costs upward.
