Demand for healthcare is increasing in Australia and globally, driven by ageing populations and increased prevalence of chronic disease. For health systems to remain sustainable into the future, it is critical that resources are allocated efficiently and equitably, in order to maximise the positive health outcomes at the population level.
Cost-effectiveness analysis is a widely used method for informing resource allocation decisions in health care. It involves the assessment of health benefits relative to the costs required to achieve these benefits. This allows for an objective, explicit and transparent means of comparing value for money across two or more alternative courses of action.
This three-day short course will provide participants with an understanding of the cost-effectiveness analysis framework, including how health care costs and outcomes can be measured and valued. The focus will be on modelled analyses, with different types of health economic models being presented. The course will provide participants with practical skills in building and analysing cost-effectiveness models that can subsequently be applied in their own settings.
The course is highly practical and will involve participants working through a series of exercises in Microsoft Excel. Basic Excel skills are considered a prerequisite for this course. Experienced tutors will be available to provide assistance with the practical exercises as required.
