Seminar: Threshold value and decision making in health care
SUMMARY
Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is routinely performed in health policy. Often, the conclusion is that the decision to implement the intervention depends on the decision maker’s willingness-to-pay for the incremental effectiveness. In some countries, the threshold value has been defined to represent the society’s willingness-to-pay. However, very different methods for determining cost-effectiveness threshold and very different values can be found. This seminar summarizes the estimation and use of threshold value internationally.
The seminar is organized by PROSHADE-consortium and the Council for Choices in Health Care in Finland (COHERE Finland) at the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health.
