Advanced Modelling Methods for Health Economic Evaluation (3-day Workshop)

This 3-day modeling course is to be held in the Millennium Hilton Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.

The short course has run over a period of 7 years as a successful collaboration between the Universities of York and Glasgow in the UK, and McMaster University in Canada.  The Bangkok course will also involve researchers from the Health Intervention and Technology Assessment Program (HITAP) in Thailand. 

This is an advanced course focusing specifically on decision modelling and intended for people currently undertaking modelling for health economic evaluation within the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, consultancy, academia or the health service. It is also appropriate for those reviewing or preparing economic evaluation evidence for public health authorities.

By the end of the course participants will be expected to:

Develop and populate a decision model
Populate a Markov model with and without time-dependent probabilities
Undertake probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA) to reflect parameter uncertainty
Present the results of a PSA using net monetary benefits and cost-effectiveness acceptability curves
Assess expected value of perfect information
Model developed in Microsoft Excel and in Treeage
Gather experience relating to the use of economic evaluation in public policy decisions
