In financially constrained health systems across the world, increasing emphasis is being placed on the ability to demonstrate that health care interventions are not only effective, but also cost-effective. This book deals with decision modelling techniques that can be used to estimate the value for money of various interventions including medical devices, surgical procedures, diagnostic technologies, and pharmaceuticals. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of the appropriate representation of uncertainty in the evaluative process and the implication this uncertainty has for decision making and the need for future research. This highly practical guide takes the reader through the key principles and approaches of modelling techniques. It begins with the basics of constructing different forms of the model, the population of the model with input parameter estimates, analysis of the results, and progression to the holistic view of models as a valuable tool for informing future research exercises. Case studies and exercises are supported with online templates and solutions. This book will help analysts understand the contribution of decision-analytic modelling to the evaluation of health care programmes. ABOUT THE SERIES: Economic evaluation of health interventions is a growing specialist field, and this series of practical handbooks will tackle, in-depth, topics superficially addressed in more general health economics books. Each volume will include illustrative material, case histories and worked examples to encourage the reader to apply the methods discussed, with supporting material provided online. This series is aimed at health economists in academia, the pharmaceutical industry and the health sector, those on advanced health economics courses, and health researchers in associated fields.

A great how-to for health economic evaluation

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is an excellent "how-to" for building economic cost-effectiveness models for healthcare. The bulk of it focuses on what I would describe as intermediately complex situations such as Monte Carlo simulation of decision trees and how to build Markov Models. It definitely assumes that you have already been introduced to economic evaluation conceptually and will be a bit too brief for someone looking to be taught the field from scratch.

I'm honestly surprised by some of the experienced modelers dislike of this book in the other reviewer comments. It has a very exercise-heavy approach that may be tedious for those too experienced, but I picked this up after doing a theory course and it was the perfect supplement to put some of that work into practice.

Excellent Book on Advanced Outcomes Research

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2011

Verified Purchase

This is a very strong book on advanced applied outcomes/cost-effectiveness research. I suppose this would not be the first thing I gave an undergraduate with no background in health or health economic research to use to learn applied cost-effectiveness, but it IS what I give to my research assistants when they come to work for me.

There are many, many remedial and beginning books on this subject. The author's here are to be commended for trying to push the field forward towards using more rigorous evaluation methods. There are applied exercises that provide code to interested students who would like to learn how to create their own cost-effectiveness analyses.

It is difficult to argue with the person who called this a manual for health care rationing. There are some in the United States, generally funded by the pharmaceutical or medical device industries, always Republican, who simply reject the notion of rigorously evaluating any health care expenditure for value and utility. These same people often wear three cornered hats, carry don't tread on me flags, and scream about the deficit without any comprehensive that health expenditures are the cause of our deficit. Its an incoherent position and one that has no place denigrating a strong book such as this one.

Introduction to Pharmacoeconomic Modeling

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

Introduction to Pharmacoeconomic Modeling provides detailed information about models, variance, heterogeneity and uncertainty surrounding these different models. This book is very informative and detailed. I like how every topic is separated and easy to find.

Poorly written and confusing

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2008

I've read this book from cover to cover, and was not able to get much from it. It is a very puzzling text.

Someone who is not already familiar with the basics of economic evaluation would probably not understand the book. That's because quite a bit of background seems to be assumed, and little basic explanation is given.

Others -- like me -- who do know the basics are likely to be confused because of the poor writing style and the authors' frequent allusions to matters they do not discuss. Take pages 176-179 for instance. There, the authors say that information, once generated "has public good characteristics and is nonrival". As an economist, I know what that means; non-economists will not have a clue. On page 177, they refer to "negative threshold space" -- whatever that is?!? Fig 6.4 on page 178 is missing a curve that is referenced in the text proper. And on page 179, we learn that "... there is no such thing as perfect information but it does place an upper bound on the returns to research". If it does not exist, then how can it "place an upper bound" on anything?

The authors love to claim -- repeatedly that "clearly" something is so and that "it should be clear that" other things are true. I didn't find it so.

Good, but pricing it with the exercises for more cost is cynical as the book looses a lot without the exercises.
