Programmes by Topic

This course aims to equip students with basic skills required to perform their own cost-effectiveness analyses of health technologies and to critically assess the quality of evaluations conducted by others. This course introduces students to key concepts of economic evaluation and decision-analytic modelling, and covers methods for measuring and valuing health gains and costs. We focus on two models commonly used in cost-effectiveness analyses in healthcare: namely decision trees and Markov models. The course will include hands-on-training on building and analysing both types of models in Microsoft Excel so students understand how to implement these methods from first principles.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Be able to describe different types of economic evaluation methods and how to value health gains and costs
• Be able to interpret outputs from cost-effectiveness analysis to make recommendations of adoption or improvements  
  

 

This course is part of the  Graduate Certificate in Health Economic Evaluation

 

As part of the micro-credential initiative, you may choose to take this course alone if you do not wish to take the full Graduate Certificate program.
