    Study Notes

    Economic Evaluation in Healthcare

    • The primary reason for including economic evaluation in a globally scaled research strategy is to inform healthcare decision-making and resource allocation.

    Conducting Economic Evaluation Studies

    • The majority of economic evaluation studies in healthcare are conducted by pharmaceutical companies.

    Importance of Perspective in Economic Evaluation

    • Perspective is crucial in economic evaluation analyses as it determines whose costs and benefits are considered.

    Systematic Analysis in Economic Evaluation

    • A systematic analysis is essential when not all relevant factors can be measured numerically, and it helps to ensure that all relevant studies are included in the analysis.
    • Failure to conduct a systematic analysis can lead to incorrect decisions in economic evaluation analyses.

    Purpose of Economic Evaluation in Research Strategy

    • The purpose of including economic evaluation in a globally scaled research strategy is to inform healthcare decision-making and resource allocation.

    Health Technology Assessment (HTA)

    • The primary goal of HTA is to inform healthcare decision-making by evaluating the clinical, economic, and social implications of healthcare technologies.
    • HTA examines the overall impact of a healthcare technology on the healthcare system, patients, and society.
    • One of the dimensions of HTA is concerned with the performance of technology under 'routine' conditions.
    • Another dimension is concerned with the cost of technology.

    Pharmacoeconomic Research

    • The primary goal of pharmacoeconomic research is to provide information to decision-makers about the economic value of a pharmaceutical product.
    • The primary goal of pharmacoeconomic research is to convince payers (e.g., governments, insurance companies) of the necessity of bearing the treatment costs.

    Characteristics of Economic Evaluation

    • A characteristic of economic evaluation is that it provides a framework for decision-making based on the comparison of costs and outcomes.

    Importance of Systematic Analysis

    • It is essential to conduct a systematic analysis to avoid incorrect decisions in economic evaluation analyses.
    • A crucial aspect of economic evaluation analyses is the systematic identification, appraisal, and synthesis of relevant studies.
