Abstract
Health regions in Canada are responsible for meeting the needs of local populations with limited resources. However, relatively little attention has been given to this within-region resource allocation problem. An economic approach to needs assessment, namely program budgeting and marginal analysis, may be of benefit. Its potential for use in Canada is examined, in particular with examples from two Alberta health regions, the Calgary Regional Health Authority and the Chinook Health Region.
