Learn How to Measure and Evaluate Economic and Patient-based Outcomes

Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes: Applications for Patient Care introduces the reader to the terminology and basic components of health economics, outcomes research and pharmacoeconomics. The text identifies a strategy for designing a research question, a process for conducting a pharmacoeconomic evaluation, and sources of data for economic outcomes analysis.

The text includes an extensive series of economic and humanistic assessments, their purpose and application. Economic outcomes measures include cost-of-illness analysis, cost-minimization analysis, cost-benefit analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, cost-utility analysis, decision analysis, Markov modeling, and sensitivity analysis. Humanistic outcomes measures include health status, patient satisfaction, work outcomes, and patient-based assessments.

TreeAge Pro

TreeAge Pro has been designed to implement the techniques of decision analysis in an intuitive and easy-to-use manner. It transforms decision analysis from a potentially tedious exercise into an easily applied and highly visual means of

  • organizing the decision making process,
  • analyzing the problem at hand, and
  • communicating both the structure of the problem and the basis for a decision or recommendation.

If you are experienced in decision analysis, you will find TreeAge Pro easy to use following only a cursory review of the software commands, although the richness of the program will become more apparent with further use of the software. And if you have no, or only limited, experience with decision analysis, TreeAge Pro will make it much easier to learn.
