Study Notes
Basic Pharmacoeconomic Equation
- The basic pharmacoeconomic equation involves analysis of cost and outcomes of healthcare services
- It relates to pharmacy, healthcare economics, and humanistic outcomes research
Types of Pharmacoeconomic Studies
- Cost-Minimization Analysis (CMA)
- Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA)
- Cost-Utility Analysis (CUA)
- Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA)
Cost-Minimization Analysis (CMA)
- Compares inputs in monetary values and outcomes are assumed to be identical
- Simplest to conduct, but cannot be used when outcomes are different
- Examples: comparing two medications with identical outcomes but different costs
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA)
- Compares inputs in monetary units and outcomes in natural units of effectiveness
- Easy to understand for clinicians, but cannot compare different types of outcomes
- Examples: comparing the cost-effectiveness of two medications for the same condition
Cost-Utility Analysis (CUA)
- Compares inputs in monetary units and outcomes in patient preference–weighted extensions of life
- Measures outcomes based on years of life adjusted by “utility” weights, ranging from 1.0 for perfect health to 0.0 for death
- Examples: comparing chemotherapy agents based on years of life gained
Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA)
- Compares inputs and outcomes in monetary units
- Two major advantages: determines whether benefits exceed costs, and compares multiple programs with similar or unrelated outcomes
- Examples: evaluating whether a program is worth the cost, or comparing the cost-benefit of different interventions
Value in Healthcare
- Defined as the health outcomes achieved per dollar or cost spent
- Value = Benefit / Cost
Pharmacoeconomics
- Defined as the description and analysis of the costs of drug therapy to health care systems and society
- Identifies, measures, and compares the costs and consequences of pharmaceutical products and services
