Value Insider Season 1 Episode 4: How are Costs Measured, and How are CEAs Constructed and Used? (CEA) [Podcast]

Abstract

How is a cost-effectiveness analysis constructed and used? In this episode of the Value Insider podcast, host Mike Chambers speaks with Prof. Maureen Rutten-van Mölken about economic evaluations in healthcare and how value is considered in these evaluations. Prof. Rutten-van Mölken is professor of Economic Evaluation of Innovations for Health at the Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands. She leads the Erasmus HTA department and is Scientific Director of the Institute for Medical Technology Assessment (iMTA). Prof Rutten-van Mölken explains how comparative assessments can help us understand which treatments offer the best value-for-money as reimbursement can only be allocated to a selection of all possible treatments.
