The York Expert Workshops are now in their 17th year. Over this period, decision-makers’ demands for information on the cost-effectiveness of health technologies have become more extensive and more sophisticated. At least 7 European countries and several managed care groups in the USA now require formal submissions of economic data as part o f the reimbursement process for medicines.
In order to keep pace with these developments, the York Expert Workshops programme is frequently updated, ensuring continued success. A major change in 2004 was that our Advanced Workshop was extended from 3 to 5 days and structured according to the main steps necessary to generate estimates of cost-effectiveness for a specific decision-maker, such as a reimbursement agency or health care payer. The Advanced Workshop goes beyond the exposition of general princi p les and includes detailed discussion of the analytic approaches required to compile an economic dossier, using a mixture of presentations, tutored sessions and practical exercises.
In 2008 our Foundations Workshop was also extended from 3 to 5 days, in re sponse to participants’ requests for more case studies and exercises. In addition, the statistical issues are now discussed in more depth so that participants are better prepared for more advanced study.
Our 3-day Quality of Life Workshop provides a det ailed introduction to the theory and practice of quality of life measurement with particular emphasis on its use in economic evaluation.
Objectives:
To inform and promote understanding in key areas of quality of life assessment and health economic evaluation.
- How to decide whether a particular evaluation is necessary.
- How to choose a particular methodology.
- How to identify the data required and appropriate instruments for data collection.
- How to undertake appropriate analysis.
- How to communicate the results effectively.
Created for:
Anyone involved in initiating, undertaking, managing or interpreting economic evaluations or quality of life assessments of medicines.
Within:
- pharmaceutical and medical device companies;
- clinical and health services research;
