Treatments can now be compared for their cost-effectiveness by converting outcomes into a common measure. For example, suppose you have two medical treatments -- Treatment I costs $10,000 and yields 1.5 QALYs while Treatment II costs $5,000 but yields 0.5 QALYs. The first procedure would be deemed more cost-effective because the cost per quality adjusted life year is $6,667 compared to $10,000 for the second treatment.
In this manner, it becomes possible to rank a large number of treatments and procedures. Numbers for the United Kingdom, where this type of process is better developed, show that the cost per QALY for home renal dialysis is 4.9 times that for a kidney transplant, suggesting that transplantation is the more cost-effective solution. At the same time, the cost per QALY for ...

This paper defines and analyzes the concept of the performance of university teachers and identifies the four variables of organizational commitment, job stress, mental health and achievement motivation. Thus, this paper puts forward the hypothesis that the four variables-organizational commitment, job stress, mental health, and achievement motivation play a part in teachers' job performance. Finally the conceptual model of the job performance of teachers is established based on the above four variables. In research based on interviews, a survey was conducted among some teachers in colleges and universities in Xi'an. Through SEM analysis, the results show that the sustained commitment has a negative effect on work performance while emotional commitment has a positive effect on work perf...
