Background
NICE and similar agencies around the world are increasingly using QALYs,
hence the use of health state utility data in their assessments of the
cost effectiveness of health care interventions. This practical course
aims to enable participants to use patient reported outcomes and utility
data in cost effectiveness models.
What does the course deliver?
This course will provide an introduction to the building blocks of
QALYs, but the main emphasis will be on the practical requirements of
using utility data in cost effectiveness modelling for agencies such as
NICE.
Course content
* Key issues in obtaining health state utility values
* Does it matter which instruments are used?
* What is the new NICE reference case?
* When are the EQ-5D and other generic measures not appropriate?
* What should be done when the EQ-5D and other generics are not
appropriate?
* What should be done when (the generic) reference case data are not
available?
* How should utility values be incorporated into cost effectiveness
models?
* The course will consist of a mixture of presentations, group work,
discussions and individual exercises.
