| Omschrijving | Policy makers have to decide whether to include new evidence-based technology in the basic insured package. Economic Evaluation in Healthcare is supportive to these policy makers. This course offers economic perspectives on innovations in healthcare. Patients who need care expect that this care is available in order to prevent, cure or alleviate symptoms. In addition, patients expect that the price of care is related to the expected health outcomes. The rising healthcare costs due to new technological possibilities may jeopardize the needs in other public sectors such as the education, culture, safety and defence sectors. In a context of uncertainty and scarcity, there is a high need for decision making based on valid information about health gain and costs. A course about Economic Evaluation in Healthcare provides students contemporary insights about improving the decision making on new healthcare technologies. | ||||||||||||||||
