| Title |
Winter School: Introduction to cost-effectiveness analysis with applications in R |
| Description |
Cost-effectiveness analysis of healthcare interventions is an essential tool for informing
reimbursement decisions, healthcare policy and treatment guidelines. The goal of cost-
effectiveness analysis is to compare costs and health effects of alternative uses of scarce
resources to guide the development, implementation and funding of medical technologies
and policy interventions.
This course aims to give an overview of fundamental concepts of cost-effectiveness analysis
and to introduce basic cost-effectiveness modelling techniques in R. We will show how cost-
effectiveness analyses can be used in decisions to cover the intervention in a health care
system and how uncertainty must be considered in such decisions. The course will put a
strong focus on model-based cost-effectiveness analysis. The theoretical concepts will be
applied in practical tutorials in R.
Participants do not need prior experience in economic evaluation or clinical research, but a
solid understanding of basic statistical concepts and general methods for the clinical
evaluation of health care interventions is expected. The practical sessions require previous
experience with R. |
