Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis
2016
This ISPOR task force report provides an introduction to multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) - it defines MCDA; provides examples of its use in different kinds of decision making in health care (including benefit risk analysis, health technology assessment, resource allocation, portfolio decision analysis, shared patient clinician decision making and prioritizing patients’ access to services); provides an overview of the principal methods of MCDA; and describes the key steps involved.
In 2014, ISPOR established an MCDA Emerging Good Practices Task Force, charged with establishing a common definition for MCDA in health care decision making and developing good practice guidelines for conducting MCDA to aid health care decision making. Upon reviewing this report, readers should have a solid overview of MCDA methods and their potential for supporting health care decision making.
