Editing Resource Allocation in Medicine (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''Resource Allocation''' — The "Fair Distribution" of medical resources (Time/Money/Stuff) among competing needs.
* '''Triage''' — (From the French 'Trier' = 'To Sort'). The process of "Categorizing Patients" based on "Urgency" and "Likelihood of Survival."
* '''QALY (Quality-Adjusted Life Year)''' — A "Mathematical Unit" used to measure the "Benefit" of a treatment: **1 QALY** = 1 year of life in "Perfect Health."
* '''Utilitarianism''' — The ethical goal of "The Greatest Good for the Greatest Number" (e.g., 'Save 10 people instead of 1').
* '''Egalitarianism''' — The goal of "Equal Access" for everyone, regardless of "Cost" or "Efficiency."
* '''The Rule of Rescue''' — The "Human Impulse" to "Spend any amount" to save a "Visible Person" in immediate danger (e.g., 'The boy trapped in a well'), even if that money could save 100 "Invisible" people elsewhere.
* '''Micro-Allocation''' — Decisions at the "Bedside" (e.g., 'Which patient gets this ICU bed?').
* '''Macro-Allocation''' — Decisions at the "Government" level (e.g., 'How many billions for Cancer vs. Heart Disease?').
* '''The 'Fair Innings' Argument''' — The idea that everyone deserves a "Fair Chance" at a full life; therefore, we should prioritize "The Young" over those who have already "Lived a full life."
* '''Opportunity Cost''' — The "Hidden Cost" of a decision: by "Spending $1M on a rare drug," we are "Choosing NOT to spend it" on '100,000 Vaccines.'
