Abstract

The necessity of limiting resource in healthcare systems is becoming increasingly more evident. The population has requirements especially in the field of healthcare which are principally unlimited. However, there are only limited financial resources which can be used to satisfy the wishes of the population. For this reason rationing models are being discussed increasingly more often. One example of these models is called age rationing which means that defined services are only offered to patients up to a particular age. The aim of this article is to discuss the model of age rationing in the context of an optimized use of resources in the healthcare system.
