AB The  analysis  of  the  relationship  of  pharmaceutical  and  device  costs  to  health  care  systems  has  been  termed  pharmacoeconomics,  and  four  types  of  analytical  techniques  are  commonly  used  for  this  purpose:  cost-minimization,  cost-benefit,  cost-effectiveness,  and  cost-utility  analyses.1  With  changing  payments  from  private  and  government-based  health  insurance  programs  worldwide,  physicians  and  administrators  are  forced  to  focus  attention  toward  cost  containment  to  maintain  a  profitable  (or  at  least  “break-even”)  enterprise.  Cost  analysis  is  an  emerging  tool  in  health  care  economics  that  can  help  physicians  and  administrators  meet  these  new  challenges.
