Explore the ISPOR Special Task Force Report, A Health Economics Approach to US Value Frameworks, and gain a deeper understanding of value assessment frameworks in the US.
This course explores the evolution of US value assessment frameworks, from the ISPOR Special Task Force Report (2018) to advanced cost-effectiveness methodologies like Generalized and Risk-Adjusted Cost-Effectiveness (GRACE) and Generalized CEA (GCEA). The course examines how these frameworks incorporate broader value elements, decision-making perspectives, and resource allocation strategies.
Technical Topics Include:
- Evolution of US Value Frameworks: ISPOR Value Flower, GRACE, and GCEA
- Expanding Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA): Beyond cost-per-QALY, incorporating insurance value, hope, and disease severity
- Budget Considerations & Opportunity Costs: Cost-effectiveness thresholds and affordability constraints
- Advanced Value-Based Decision-Making: Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and social welfare functions (SWFs)
This Course Includes Tools and Concepts That Can Be Immediately Applied, Including:
- Frameworks for evaluating value from societal and payer perspectives
- Practical applications of augmented cost-effectiveness methodologies
- Case studies demonstrating expanded value elements in healthcare decisions
- Strategies for integrating broader value considerations into pricing and reimbursement
Designed for professionals in health economics, market access, and policy evaluation, this course provides insights into the evolving landscape of US value assessment frameworks and their impact on decision-making.
