Apologies for any cross posting.Utility Data for Health Technology Assessment
2 day course: Monday, 12th - Tuesday,
13th March 2018 |
|
Background
NICE and similar agencies around the world are
using QALYs, hence the need for health state utility data in their assessments
of the cost effectiveness of health care interventions. This raises questions
about the measurement of health, the valuation of health and whose values to
use. It creates additional challenges for meeting the requirements of a
‘reference case’ set of methods that may not be appropriate in all
circumstances.
What does the course deliver?
This
course outlines the practical requirements of measuring utility and obtaining
utility data for health technology assessment for agencies such as NICE and
explores recent research in utilities including EQ-5D-5L valuation, measuring
subjective well-being and condition specific preference-based measures.
It is delivered by a world leading team of experts in utility measurement.
