 SURVEY ON ESTIMATING QALYS IN THE WESTERN REGION OF ROMANIA – THE CASE WITHOUT INTERVENTIONMarius Ioan Pantea and Delia Gligor Proceedings of the INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE, 2012, vol. 6, issue 1, 741-748 Abstract: Currently, assessing a population’s quality of life is considered one of the most important aspects in health interventions’ evaluation across most of the European countries. However, in Romania its utility is unfortunately overlooked. In this context, the paper aims at providing an accurate estimate of QALYs for healthcare investment projects, determining through a questionnaire survey the utilities associated to quality of life for five critical medical conditions and thus calculating the related QALYs. The targeted population consisted of 100 patients and 50 medical personnel from the most important hospitals in the Western Region of Romania. The study’s outcome – a list of QALYs / medical condition – represent the foundation for future national research in improving the decision process of public resources allocation in healthcare. Keywords: economic analysis; health outcome; quality adjusted life year; quality of life; public healthcare.
