Welcome back to this explainer on health economics analyses in musculoskeletal rehabilitation.

In part 1, Dr Codie Primeau explained the things you're looking for when reading a health economics analysis, to decide whether it's a good quality analysis. That's important because a good quality analysis can help you make decisions about whether the intervention being studied is worth considering.

Today in part 2, we take things a step further to explore how you decide what "worthwhile" really means. Worth it for whom? The patient, your clinic, the health system, or even society?
