Incorporating affordability concerns within cost-effectiveness analysis for health technology assessment
27 August 2019 - New framework considers the scale, time profile, and uncertainty of budget impacts.
Value in Health, the official journal of ISPOR—the professional society for health economics and outcomes research, announced today the publication of a report introducing a new framework by which concerns for affordability can be appropriately incorporated within cost-effectiveness analysis.
The report, “Incorporating Affordability Concerns Within Cost-Effectiveness Analysis for Health Technology Assessment,” was published in the August 2019 issue of Value in Health. An accompanying editorial by Charles E. Phelps entitled, “When Opportunity Knocks, What Does It Say” appears in the same issue.
