The article introduces the CHEERS 2022 statement, an updated set of guidelines for reporting health economic evaluations. Health economic evaluations compare alternative actions in terms of costs and consequences. The original CHEERS statement, published in 2013, aimed to make these evaluations clear, interpretable, and useful for decision-making by providing a standardized reporting format. Methods involved reviewing advancements in health economic evaluation methods and the need for inclusive stakeholder engagement, including patients and the public. The…

ReportPublication 2021Valuing COVID-19 Mortality and Morbidity Risks
In this report, the researchers develop an approach for valuing COVID-19 mortality and morbidity risk …
In this report, the researchers develop an approach for valuing COVID-19 mortality and morbidity risk reductions that builds on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Guidelines for Regulatory Impact Analysis. They review the differences between COVID-19 mortality risks and the types of risks that are more commonly studied, and find that the impacts of these differences on the value of mortality risk reductions (the value per statistical life, VSL) are uncertain. They…

ReportPublication 2019Reference Case Guidelines for BCA in Global Health and Development
The “Benefit‐Cost Analysis Reference Case: Principles, Methods, and Standards” project, with support from the Bill …
The “Benefit‐Cost Analysis Reference Case: Principles, Methods, and Standards” project, with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, culminated in the “Reference Case Guidelines for Benefit-Cost Analysis in Global Health and Development.” These guidelines aim to facilitate the utilization and increase the effectiveness of benefit-cost analysis by clarifying essential concepts, aiding implementation, and suggesting default values for key parameters, along with options for standardized sensitivity analysis. Targeted at practitioners with economic evaluation expertise across…

ReportPublication 2015Returns on HTA Funded Research
This report from the RAND Corporation dissects the impact of the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) …
This report from the RAND Corporation dissects the impact of the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) program in making quality research accessible and cost-effective. The authors conduct an economic analysis to illustrate benefits of new interventions in two ways: through improved health, measured in QALYs, and through showing that the intervention allows for the same health outcome and a lower cost. The report utilizes economic analyses and case studies to make recommendations. These recommendations include considering…

ReportPublication 2003ISPOR Task Force Report: Good Practice for Decision Analytic Modeling in Health-Care
This report describes the consensus of a task force convened to provide modelers with guidelines …
This report describes the consensus of a task force convened to provide modelers with guidelines for conducting and reporting modeling studies. While published more than a decade ago, it remains a clearly written resource for thinking about how to accurately describe the components of models and their quality. Criteria for assessing the quality of models fell into three areas: model structure, data used as inputs to models, and model validation. Several major themes cut across…
