How Do Epidemiologists Determine Resource Allocation?
Epidemiologists use various data-driven methods to determine how resources should be allocated. This includes:
- Surveillance Data: Continuous monitoring of disease incidence and prevalence guides decision-making. - Modeling and Simulation: Predictive models help forecast the spread of diseases and the impact of different interventions. - Health Impact Assessments: Evaluations of how different health interventions will affect population health. - Cost-Benefit Analyses: Determining the economic efficiency of interventions.
