Economic Evaluation of Health Interventions

This module provides learners with a comprehensive understanding of economic evaluation techniques used to assess the value of healthcare interventions and programs. In a world of limited resources and rising healthcare costs, it is crucial for policymakers and healthcare managers to make informed decisions about which interventions deliver the greatest value for money.

Learners will explore core methodologies such as cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA), and understand the practical use of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) in evaluating health outcomes. The module emphasizes real-world applications through case studies and step-by-step guidance, helping learners to apply these tools in their own professional contexts.

By the end of this module, learners will be equipped to:

• Conduct basic economic evaluations of healthcare programs.

• Interpret key metrics such as incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs).

• Communicate findings to support evidence-based healthcare decision-making.
