Objectives
- Use relevant scientific evidence to “inform” better health care decision making
- Drive health economics and outcomes research to connect into a complicated synergy between health systems; and economic theory, its models and techniques; and healthcare decisions made based on evidence
- Build an active knowledge sharing community and network for health economics and outcomes research
Services
- Scientific research based on evidence. This is based on the core of health economics, economic evaluations, budget impact analysis, value assessments and generations of real-world evidence.
- Health economics training sessions: Typically all training sessions can be designed for all organizations. Academic excellence in all courses are monitored by a global panel of professors. Training is broken into basic, intermediate and advanced modules.
- Knowledge sharing opportunities in the form of Health Economic Forums.
- Personalized case studies and clinical studies upon contract and agreement.
