Overview
Key facts
This short course is designed to go beyond the first principles of economic evaluation. Its focus is the development, extension and application of the main issues and techniques for economic evaluation.
The material covered by the course includes an in-depth coverage of the components of economic evaluation, such as cost data collection and analysis, outcome data analysis, health state valuation in general, economic evaluation alongside clinical trials and discounting issues. Alternative methods for economic evaluation and the relevant frameworks will be discussed with case studies and policy applications. The module includes a half day's inter-active practical session in which 'hands-on' application and analysis of alternative modelling approaches used in economic evaluation will be demonstrated with full discussion of the advantages and appropriateness of the alternative techniques. All concepts are consolidated in the group exercise on critical appraisal where each group appraises a published economic evaluation and presents the findings to their fellow students.
University of Birmingham's Economic Evaluation in Health Care programme will teach you more about this topic.
