Summer school 2016
5-day summer school on Health Technology Assessment
July 18 – 22, 2016.
Why a Health Technology Assessment (HTA) summer school in St. Petersburg in 2016?
Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is in widespread use in many countries, providing essential information for healthcare decision-makers and regulatory agencies. The relevance of HTAs for market access, medical decision making, pricing and reimbursement of health technologies and interventions has increased dramatically in the developed world during recent decades, and yet, until now, has been almost non-existent in Russia. Addressing this gap between Russian practice and global practice is a vital first-step in improving the effectiveness of resource use in the Russian health sector.
This 5-day summer school, the first of its kind in Russia, will address this vital topic, starting with 2 days devoted explicitly to the measurement of health benefits, before moving on to consider cost-benefit analysis, cost-utility and cost-effectiveness analysis and other increasingly common methods as well as the design of trial based studies and decision analytic models. The school will be delivered in English by some of the world’s leading experts in this field.
Further details will be posted on our programme page as the event draws nearer.
