Biography
Dr Hannah Carter is a health economist whose work is focussed on embedding economic evaluation within health services research. She has been involved in clinical trials and health services research across a range of clinical areas including cancer, cardiovascular disease, end of life and paediatric conditions. Her current work involves a focus on evaluating integrated and virtual models of care. Hannah's research expertise includes cost-effectiveness analysis; health system modelling; the indirect (productivity) and out of pocket costs of illness; the relationships between health and employment; and the economics of implementation. She has expertise in a number of economic modelling techniques including decision analysis, Markov, discrete event and microsimulation. She is also interested in health services research more broadly, including implementation science methods and the use of discrete choice experiments to better understand preferences for health service delivery.Personal details
