Título:	HOSPITAL COSTS AND SOCIAL COSTS: A CASE STUDY OF NEWBORN HEARING SCREENING
Palabras clave:	Economía y Finanzas Economic evaluation health care programs cost-effectiveness analysis QALYs newborn hearing screening
Editorial:	Fundación SEPI
Descripción:	The economic evaluation of health care programs can be carried out from two diferent perspectives: the hospital´s narrow perspective and the social perspective, which includes all costs. It is well known that, depending on the perspective, the economic evaluation may lead to discrepant recommendations. In this paper we present an example of this situation by reporting an economic evaluation of the screening procedures to detect congenital hearing impairment in newborns. We obtain that from the hospital´s perspective a targeted procedure, based on a previous high-risk criterion, is preferred, whereas from the social perspective a universal procedure is preferred
