Selecting the Best Options for Enhanced Health Security

We have previously presented the ways in which a health decision analysis can be conducted to systematically and thoroughly evaluate health security actions and health threats. This chapter focuses on how high-value options can be selected in health security decision processes. We present a discussion concerning the sources of evidence that can be employed to assess the impacts of health threats and the performances of health security actions. We also detail the different types of decision situations and the different ways in which we can analyze these situations in order to improve health security or to manage health threats.
