This four-course specialization introduces the principles and methods of economic evaluation in healthcare. Participants will learn how to assess costs and health benefits, interpret cost-effectiveness findings, and build decision-making models such as decision trees and Markov models. Through videos and practical exercises, the program equips learners with the skills to evaluate healthcare interventions and make informed, evidence-based policy and clinical decisions.
In this module, you will be introduced to the foundational concepts of economic evaluation in health care. We will cover the essential background, key concepts, and definitions that will set the stage for the analytical methods you will learn in the next modules.
