RESOURCE ALLOCATION FORMULA FOR DECISION MAKING
GE = GM = GL = GE • GOOD ETHICS • FULL ATTENTION TO THE PATIENT’S BEST INTERESTS --- ESPECIALLY AS IDENTIFIED BY THE PATIENT THROUGH THE EXERCISE OF AUTONOMY --- • AND APPROPRIATE UTILIZATION OF CLINICIANS IN HELPING PATIENTS IDENTIFY THOSE BEST INTERESTS
GE = GM = GL = GE • GOOD MEDICINE • LEADS TO A PROPER THERAPEUTIC RESPONSE • WITHIN THE OVERALL CONTEXT OF THE PATIENT’S VALUES AND PRIORITIES • AND ACCEPTABLE STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL PRACTICE
GE = GM = GL = GE • GOOD LAW • PROTECTING THE PATIENT’S RIGHTS TO INFORMATION AND SELF-DETERMINATION • AS WELL AS THE INTEGRITY OF THE CAREGIVER IN FOLLOWING THE STANDARDS OF ORDINARY MEDICAL PRACTICE.
GE = GM = GL = GE • GOOD ECONOMICS • THIS APPROACH MAY LEAD TO PATIENT-INITIATED RESTRAINT AND A REALISTIC ASSESSMENT OF BENEFITS IN THE UTILIZATION OF HIGH-COST TECHNOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS • WHILE, AT THE SAME TIME, REDUCING EXPENDITURES BY THE PATIENT, INSURERS, AND HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS.
