Autumn semester

The module is designed for students who wish to learn basic modelling techniques for health care decision analysis. During the semester economic models related to common reimbursement questions are developed in MS Excel spreadsheets. By the end of the module students will be able to design, develop and interpret economic models and will be familiar with basic methods to handle uncertainties around resource allocation decisions.
