Modelling Approaches for HTA: A Practical Hands-On Workshop to be held at CADTH, 865 Carling Avenue, Ottawa, ON
December 1-3, 2010
3-Day Practical Hands-on Workshop.
There is a number of other modelling courses focusing on either theory or only selected modelling approaches. In contrast, our course combines theoretical concepts with practical hands-on exercises comprising five different modelling techniques applied in Public Health and HTA. Real world case examples from different acute and chronic diseases will be discussed.
Day 1
- Modelling overview and taxonomy
- Decision trees, state-transition and Markov models
Day 2
- Microsimulation models
- Discrete event simulation models
- Handling individual behaviour and waiting lines
Day 3
- Infectious disease models
- Handling dynamic transmissions and herd immunity
- Other modelling approaches (e.g., agent-based models, system dynamics models, casual influence models, biologic systems models)
For this course, basic knowledge of spreadsheet programs (e.g., MS Excel) is recommended. Experience in other software tools used in the workshop (e.g., TreeAge, Arena, Berkeley, Madona) is not required.
This course is taught in English.
