Introduction: The optimal allocation of resources is based on the resource requirement of important functions of the health system. The aim of this study is to introduce marginal budget planning and marginal analysis as a new approach to allocating resources of health system resources.
Methods: Using the Medline and Google Scholar databases and the PBMA keyword search, studies published in relevant specialized domestic and foreign journals were considered and those with more sample size and references were selected in their reviews.
Results: The PBMA framework is based on marginal opportunity cost analysis and analytics, and is more value-added than other techniques. Overall, PBMA is a process to help decision-makers to influence health care resources. Maximize the local population's health needs by proposing to decision-makers to reallocate resources where it benefits the most. This approach has been used for more than 3 decades in a variety of health care settings.
Conclusions: Taking advantage of this approach is recommended to allocate the resources of health system resources in order to reduce costs and increase efficiency of health services and with regard to the economic status, social, cultural and political.
