November 17: Health Economic Modeling in R: A Hands-on Introduction - In Person at ISPOR Europe 2024
event-Short-Courses

November 17, 2024

Gain practical skills in the computational and transparency advantages of using R — a perfect course for individuals currently conducting health economic modelling using Microsoft Excel.

Enroll into this course to:

  • Explore the use of R for health economic modelling in the context of health economics and outcomes research (HEOR).
  • Be guided by expert instructors with diverse experience in academia, national Health Technology Assessment agencies (NICE, NCPE), and industry, through practical examples of HEOR.
  • Complete practical examples of health economic modelling including using R for Markov models from deterministic analysis through to probabilistic sensitivity analysis and EVPI.
  • Learn about additional useful packages for modelling using R.

All sessions interchange between descriptive lectures and hands-on exercises. Participants will be provided with materials, including model examples in R, and information on where to go for further learning.

This short course is offered in-person at the ISPOR Europe 2024 conference.
