Value of Information for Healthcare Decision-Makingintroduces the
concept of Value of Information (VOI) use in health policy
decision-making to determine the sensitivity of decisions to
assumptions, and to prioritise and design future research. These
methods, and their use in cost-effectiveness analysis, are increasingly
acknowledged by health technology assessment authorities as vital.
Key Features:
Provides a comprehensive overview of VOI
Simplifies VOI
Showcases state-of-the-art techniques for computing VOI
Includes R statistical software package
Provides results when using VOI methods
Uses realistic decision model to illustrate key concepts
The
primary audience for this book is health economic modellers and
researchers, in industry, government, or academia, who wish to perform
VOI analysis in health economic evaluations. It is relevant for
postgraduate researchers and students in health economics or medical
statistics who are required to learn the principles of VOI or undertake
VOI analyses in their projects. The overall goal is to improve the
understanding of these methods and make them easier to use.
