Course description
Examining the economic and regulatory challenges of developing, implementing and sustaining innovations
Health care systems around the world are under pressure to deliver health benefits while improving quality and productivity and reducing waste. Expectations of health care innovations are typically high. However, health systems may find it difficult to balance investment and disinvestment, while demonstrating value (both financial and as benefits for patients), especially when an innovation in one part of the system generates benefits that accrue in a different part. While standard economic tools are useful for making broad policy and strategic decisions, translational health economics requires additional tools based on service-level data to inform local investment, disinvestment and monitoring decisions at the provider level.
In this module, we will introduce economic principles and tools and apply them to case studies. You will consider issues such as the benefits and disadvantages of an innovation across a system, how investment and disinvestment decisions are informed at service level, and the use of tools to assess whether and when an innovation is likely to generate value.
