About

The HEIDELBERG HEALTH ECONOMICS SUMMER SCHOOL 2025 will offer again an unsurpassed opportunity to meet leading experts in health policy and economics, and to discuss with them about key challenges and potential solutions in the context of (health) economic evaluation for use of health technology assessments (HTAs) to inform patient access, pricing, and reimbursement decisions including implications for research and development (R&D).

"Educational Refresher on Conventional Cost-Effectiveness Analysis"

The INTRO MODULE will be characterized by its educational character, with a focus on conventional cost-effectiveness analysis – CEA – in the context of HTAs.
Topics covered will be basic principles of decision analysis, valuation principles in economics, costing in theory & practice, applied CEA & budget impact analysis (BIA), good modeling practice, and dealing with uncertainty and sensitivity analyses.
