“…Economic evidence in social care in England -although much more developed than in most other countries -is still scarce in comparison to economic evidence in clinical and public health fields due to challenges in collecting high-quality data (Weatherly et al, 2020) and a general under-investment in adult social care research (Knapp et al, 2010;Tinelli et al, 2020). There could be further development and use of methods for when other evidence is sparse, such as use of decision analytic modelling (Squires & Tappenden, 2011), expert elicitation (Bojke et al, In press) and value of information (Fenwick et al, 2020).…”

“…Historically, social care evidence developed in unstructured ways that are experience-based rather than experiment-based (Gould & Kendall, 2007). Therefore unsurprisingly, there are many fewer (economic) evaluations in social care than in health care (Tinelli et al, 2020). However, the role of national social care guidelines in facilitating evidence-based practice has more recently received attention by some governments, such as in England (Gould & Kendall, 2007;Leng, 2019) and Canada (Beauchamp, 2015).…”

What is known about the topic• National guidelines, which include knowledge about cost-effective practice based on economic evidence, can importantly inform resource allocations. • The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is the first health technology assessment agency to produce social care guidelines. • It is important that commissioners, providers and users of social care understand how guidelines are developed, including the role of economic evidence. What this paper adds• We provide an overview of NICE's social care guideline development process, and how economic evidence is reviewed, produced and used. • We highlight some of the challenges and opportunities that can be encountered. • We propose the use of economic evidence in social care going forward, including recommendations for research. Background National social care guidelines in EnglandTo support efficient resource allocation in health and social care, many countries have systems that promote evidence-based practice through national guidelines, led by health technology assessment (HTA) or Guideline agencies. National guidelines typically include systematically developed statements on intervention effectiveness that
