Economic evaluation is used to compare health and social care interventions and treatment options in terms of both costs and outcomes in order to assess value for money and support decision makers. The Health Economics and Health Policy at Bristol team (including those who are tutors on this course) has a well-established reputation in the economics of health and healthcare.
This course aims to provide an introduction to the theory and practice of assessing value for money in health and care.
This course will cover:
- why we need economic evaluation of health care interventions;
- key concepts in using health and care resources efficiently;
- identification, measurement and valuation of resource use to create costs;
- identification, measurement and valuation of health benefits and benefits beyond health, including the use of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and capability measures;
- presenting and interpreting the results of economic evaluations;
- applying decision analysis and Markov models in economic evaluation;
- critically appraising the quality of published economic evaluations; and
- translating economic evidence into health policy.
