Cost Effectiveness Modelling for Health Technology Assessment - Richard Edlin Christopher McCabe Claire Hulme Gebunden

This book provides an introduction to decision analytic cost-effectiveness modelling giving the theoretical and practical knowledge required to design and implement analyses that meet the methodological standards of health technology assessment organisations. The book guides you through building a decision tree and Markov model and importantly shows how the results of cost-effectiveness analyses are interpreted.Given the complex nature of cost-effectiveness modelling and the often unfamiliar language that runs alongside it we wanted to make this book as accessible as possible whilst still providing a comprehensive in-depth practical guide that reflects the state of the art - that includes the most recent developments in cost-effectiveness modelling. Although the nature of cost effectiveness modelling means that some parts are inevitably quite technical across the 13 chapters we have broken down explanations of theory and methods into bite-sized pieces that youcan work through at your own pace we have provided explanations of terms and methods as we use them. Importantly the exercises and online workbooks allow you to test your skills and understanding as you go along.
