Economic Evaluation in Health Care (EEHC)
Weiterbildungskurs

In resource poor settings, health programme managers and planners must give weight to economic evaluation, without losing sight of the demands and needs of populations. Making the best use of resources and being able to show this to stakeholders is now a standard requirement in the health sector. Participants will learn how to appraise health interventions prospectively and retrospectively using the tools and instruments of economic evaluation. They will consider the pros and cons of these approaches and how they fit into and complement the decision-making process.

Participants will learn the key concepts, terminology and methodologies used in economic evaluation in health sector settings and have the opportunity to apply these in practical exercises and assignments. The aim is to equip future managers in health care with the tools needed to interpret, commission and guide economic evaluation in their work as one of the essential elements of decision-making.

Course Content:

  • Priority setting for resource allocation
  • Concepts, methods and tools for economic evaluation in healthcare
  • Different approaches to valuing the benefits of health treatments
  • The value of decision-analysis and modelling
  • Introduction to costing methods and resource allocation tools
