Session 1: Core Concepts: Orientation to Evidence Informed Decision Making Frameworks

The Institute of Health Economics (IHE), in partnership with the Network of Alberta Health Economists (NOAHE) and Alberta Health, is delighted to co-host an invitational luncheon series that will serve to provide an applied orientation to health economic evaluation. The objective of this series is to help policy makers develop the skills required to better translate and interpret health economic findings.

Session 1 - 3 November 2016: Core Concepts: Orientation to Evidence Informed Decision Making Frameworks

Dr. Chuck and Dr. McCabe will provide a baseline overview of the field of health economics, introducing health economic terminology necessary to request and consume health economic findings and research, as well as describing economic models of interest for best use in the context of the Alberta Health care system.

So at at 38 minutes you are saying, and health benefit per $1000 can lead to lower QALY if the budget does not increase and we go with a more expensive alternative while staying within the same budget? I thought letting go of the one with the lowest health benefit per $1000 means increased QALY. SO, QALY and health benefit per 1000 are not related? please clarify for me. Thanks
