Modeling Approaches for HTA: A Practical Hands-On Workshop

Course Description

There are a number of other modeling courses focusing on either theory or only selected modeling approaches. In contrast, our course combines theoretical concepts with practical handson exercises comprising five different modeling techniques applied in Public Health and HTA. Real world case examples from different acute and chronic diseases will be discussed.

Day 1

• Modeling overview and taxonomy
• Decision trees, state-transition models (Markov models) and partitioned survival models
• Handling uncertainty and variability

Day 2

• Microsimulation models
• Discrete event simulation models
• Handling individual behavior and waiting lines

Day 3

• Infectious disease models
• Handling dynamic transmissions and herd immunity
• Other modeling approaches (e.g. agent-based models, system dynamics models, causal inference models, biologic systems models)
