Efficiency of Home Care

Notes for an Economic Approach to Resource Allocation

Christine E. Bishop, PhD

Brandeis University

Home-delivered health-related services are not valued for themselves but are, rather, highly customized inputs that can be used in the production of several alternative "commodities" ultimately demanded by consumers. These valued commodities are the restoration, improvement, or maintenance of health and functional status that can be produced by home-delivered care (and by alternative services) and the everyday support of daily functioning at home. If we can describe how inputs into the production of these two commodities are allocated, it may be possible to make judgments about whether home-delivered care and other services would produce more value if they were allocated differently.
