Resumen

La economía de la salud, aunque no oficialmente reconocida como una ciencia, desempeña un papel crucial en la valoración del funcionamiento de los sistemas de salud, así como en la toma de decisiones y la formulación de políticas públicas. Con el objetivo de consolidar datos relevantes, se realizó un estudio bibliométrico que reveló un crecimiento constante en la producción científica sobre economía de la salud. Se identificaron 641 documentos, con una distribución significativa entre Brasil, Colombia y México. El análisis bibliométrico reveló diversas corrientes de investigación, desde la prevención de enfermedades hasta la evaluación económica de tecnologías sanitarias. Se enfatiza la importancia de futuros estudios para una comprensión más profunda del campo, considerando las características individuales de los pacientes para promover una toma de decisiones en salud más informada y eficiente.
