October 17-18 | 10:00AM – 12:00PM EDT (Virtual)
Understanding Survival Modeling With Application to HTA
What you will learn in this intermediate level course:
• Understand the relationships between key time-to-event functions and their use in economic modeling.
• Examine various approaches to alternative parametric survival models employed in cost-effectiveness analyses.
• Consider the differences when selecting survival models for cost-effectiveness analyses and the differences between partitioned survival and Markov-based cost-effectiveness models.
October 25-26 | 10:00AM – 12:00PM EDT (Virtual)
Patient-Focused Medical-Product Development: It’s Here. Are you Ready for it?
What you will learn in this introductory level course:
• Get a foundational introduction to patient engagement (PE) in medical-product research and development by defining the terms, providing historical context, and illustrating its significance throughout ISPOR’s HEOR taxonomy.
• Acquire tools to plan and implement meaningful PE activities in their respective areas of research (eg, clinical development, epidemiology, health economics, real-world evidence, etc).
• Build skills needed for those responsible for doing the engaging versus those using PE in research.
November 1 | 10:00AM – 2:00PM EDT (Virtual)
Use of Propensity Scores in Observational Studies of Treatment Effects
What you will learn in this intermediate level course:
• Recognize the ways propensity scores can be used to mitigate confounding through standard observational approaches (restriction, stratification, matching, regression, or weighting).
• Understand the advantages and disadvantages of standard adjustment relative to propensity score-based methods.
• Learn the details of propensity score methodology (variable selection, use, and diagnostics) and risk adjustment models that collapse predictors of outcomes and their use relative to propensity scores.
December 6-7 | 10:00AM – 12:00PM EST (Virtual)
Transportability Methods for Clinical Trials and External/Indirect Comparisons
What you will learn in this intermediate level course:
• Understand and evaluate the plausibility of the assumptions required for transportability analyses for extending inferences from a clinical trial to a target population and for conducting external comparisons.
• Appreciate the advantages and disadvantages of different transportability methods (eg, weighting, outcome modeling, and doubly robust methods).
• Be able to implement the methods in data and interpret their output.
December 12-13 | 10:00AM – 12:00PM EST (Virtual)
Structured Expert Elicitation for Healthcare Decision Making
What you will learn in this introductory level course:
• Understand the fundamentals of structured expert elicitation (SEE): what it is, when to use it, and the resources required.
