Economic Evaluations & Economic Evidence in Healthcare: Finding Information
to Inform Technology Assessments & Economic Models
University of York, 18 November 2008
Health economics information is a key element in much health services
research and particularly in health technology assessments. Identifying
economic evidence to inform such research can involve searches in a range of
databases and using a variety of strategies. This study day will include a
'jargon buster' session on the basics of health economics and economic
models. It will also feature presentations about key economics information
resources including NHS EED, Health Economics Evaluations Database (HEED)
and the CEA Registry, and explorations of options for searching to identify
data for economic models. There will be opportunities for hands-on
practice.
The study day presenters will be Matthew Taylor, Julie Glanville, Pauline
Howarth and Fabienne Reynolds.
Matthew Taylor is a Senior Health Economics Consultant at York Health
Economics Consortium with a PhD in Health Outcomes Research, who specialises
in pharmacoeconomic modelling. Julie Glanville, Project Director,
Information Services, York Health Economics Consortium, has published widely
on searching for evidence and was until recently the manager of the NHS EED
database. Pauline Howarth and Fabienne Reynolds work for the publishers
Wiley-Blackwell who publish HEED. Pauline is the Managing Editor of HEED
and Fabienne is the Senior Marketing Manager of Evidence-Based Medicine.
