What are the Challenges in Achieving Cost Efficiency?
Achieving cost efficiency in cancer care is challenging due to several factors:
- High Cost of Innovation: The development of new cancer treatments and technologies is expensive, which can drive up the overall cost of care. - Variability in Treatment Responses: Different patients may respond differently to the same treatment, making it difficult to predict the cost-effectiveness of certain therapies. - Access to Resources: Limited access to healthcare resources and technologies in certain regions can hinder the implementation of cost-efficient care.
