Economic Evaluations and Economic Evidence in Healthcare: Finding
Information to Inform Technology Assessments and Economic Models
University of York, 20 January 2010
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 Economic 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 Nigel Thompson.
Matthew Taylor is a Senior Health Economics Consultant at York Health
Economics Consortium with a Ph.D. in health outcomes research, who
specialises in pharmacoeconomic modelling. Julie Glanville is Project
Director - Information Services at York Health Economics Consortium and has
published widely on searching for evidence and was until recently the
manager of the NHS EED database. Pauline Howarth works for the publishers
Wiley-Blackwell who publish HEED. Pauline is the Managing Editor of HEED
and Nigel is an experienced Wiley trainer.
By the end of the training day, participants will have:
* An awareness of the basic concepts of health economics and economic
models;
* An understanding of the content and approaches of selected key health
economics resources;
* An awareness of the search options available to access these
resources;
* Experience of searching the resources.
Who should attend?
This study day would be of interest to information professionals and
researchers seeking more insight into the sources of health economics
information and its uses.
