Theories of justice and their implications for priority setting in health care

Article Abstract:

Utilitarianism, egalitarianism and maximin are distributive justice theories that explain the rationale behind priority setting regimes existing in the healthcare industry. The three theories indicate that priority setting in health care service is mainly dependent on variations in the potential health gains of individual and the variations in the degree of their severity. The Norwegian guidelines for priority setting in health care, meanwhile, establishes a more precise system that aims to address complications that may arise from the three theories such as the issue of degree of severity and capacity to benefit, which are tackled in the distributive theory.
