Becauseof this, conditional recommendations are preference sensitive and always warrana shared decision-making approach. A treatmenrecommendation favoring one medication over another means thathe preferred medication would be the recommended firsoption and the nonpreferred medication may be the sec- ond option.

Whilst there is an increasing amount written on the subject of medical tourism 10mg atarax free shipping anxiety symptoms in teens, such material is hardly ever evidence-based atarax 25 mg on-line anxiety symptoms for years. In order to make sense of the diversity of material and the gaps in extant knowledge, it is worth framing the conclusions and recommendations in terms of Frenk‘s (1994) framework for health policy analysis. This hierarchical framework presents four levels within any health system: systemic (regulation and finance), programmatic (system priorities), organisational (service management) and instrumental (clinical interface with patients). Despite concerns generated by the current financial crisis, there is no sign that economic liberalization is slowing down. As the trading opportunities in other sectors become exhausted, as experience within services trade generally expands, and as the financial climate stabilises, countries will increasingly look to the opportunities that international trade in services has to offer. For exporting services, this will centre on technology transfer, skill enhancements and foreign income. At present, medical tourism is driven by commercial interests lying outside of organised and state-run health policy-making and delivery. Are there possibilities to bring it more within the remit of domestic policy competency, involving for example third-party payers sending patients overseas? Given the heavily ‗politicized‘ nature of health care in all countries (even those with substantial private health care sectors), there will also be concerns about the threats this poses, including aspects related to brain drain, quality of care and equity. If an agreement is achieved to send patients abroad on a more bi-lateral basis, then this may open channels for other agreements such as these, which can then combine international recruitment with training and work experience programmes to address brain drain issues in the importing country. If such a route were taken, this would effectively be a form of outsourcing, with such agreement typically following the well-worn tracks of medical tourist mobility. Countries continue to evaluate their positions on trade liberalization in health, as part of wider bi- lateral, regional and multilateral trade agreements. The latter especially has been the focus of debate, centred on the World Trade Organization‘s General Agreement on Trade in Services (Blouin et al. However, there is widespread recognition that the trade agenda (in services generally, and health specifically) is increasingly pursued at the regional or bi-lateral levels (Smith et al. Could this development be broadened to include medical tourist exchanges with countries where travel distance are longer, culture and language less familiar, but where cost savings to the public purse are more apparent? This is an important shift in the dialogue, as greater bi-lateral and regional trade may reduce many of the concerns expressed over health services trade, and offer greater benefits. For instance, it may result in greater quality assurance, as well as better litigation procedures. However, much of the research evidence, anecdote and opinion on trade in health services remain focussed on this multi-lateral perspective. It is important, therefore, to explore bi-lateral trade in more detail, and to assess how it compares to multi-lateral trade. Such a focus would move discussion from the level of global medical tourism to more specific bilateral exchanges – for particular treatments, under specific quality-assured conditions (Smith et al. Beyond the national level, medical tourism raises questions for trans-national and global structures and processes. How, indeed if at all, should the medical tourism industry be best regulated, and where is intervention most likely to be effective? There is currently a lack of agreed international standards for assessing and ensuring quality and safety of medical tourism providers and health professionals, and no obligation for them to ensure quality and safety other than an ethical one. Currently, there is no universal ―official agency/group‖, such as the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the World Tourism Organization or the World Trade Organization, engaged in either the delivery of accreditation, the co- ordination of delivery of accreditation, or licensing or studying the existing schemes that deliver accreditation. There is a range of possible solutions (both national and transnational) ranging from interventions that provide more information (although by whom and at what points is not clear); those that restrict choice of potential consumers (either directly prohibited or through discouragement); or attempts to restrict supply (whether approving or licensing providers or intermediaries). There are also interventions that may aim to offer consumer protection around poor-quality treatments which could involve encouraging independent holistic accreditation by recognised schemes, advising that clinicians responsible for delivering services take out personal medical indemnity which would compensate their patients in the event of problems occurring as a consequence of their seeking healthcare, or requiring medical tourists to take out insurance coverage (Cohen, 2010). Source health systems may attempt to shift risk onto individual medical tourists, for example with disclaimers to prevent medical tourists from seeking to rectify poor outcomes at cost to the public purse. What are the programme priorities surrounding medical tourism for both source and destination countries? As outlined, medical tourist choice may lead to externalities at the system and programme level. Costs may result from overseas cosmetic surgery or dental work that requires subsequent treatment within home countries. There are few case reports or studies of these aspects and the scale of any problem is not clear. Large numbers of medical tourists will also impact on the source country‘s own health system, because outflows reduce both revenue and support for local services.
