A fast and frugal generic tool can provide decision support to those making decisions about individual cases, particularly clinicians and clinical commissioners operating within the budget and time constraints of their practices. The multi-national Generic Rapid Evaluation Support Tool (GREST) is a standard preference-sensitive Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis-based tool, but innovatory insofar as an equity criterion is introduced as one of six. Equity impact reflects the number of population QALYs lost or gained in moving from Old (current intervention) to New (contemplated intervention). In the exemplar UK implementation Claxton’s NHS Willingness to Pay per QALY is the numeraire. Any weight from 0 to 100% may be assigned to the equity criterion but its presence affirms that it is persons-as-citizens who experience any opportunity harms or benefits arising from actions within the health service commons. A fully-operational but demonstration-only version is available on open access, as proof of concept and method.
