7. Building and Analysing Cost Effectiveness Models

Healthcare decisions often take into account differences in both cost and effectiveness between competing treatments, technologies, or strategies. This section covers preparing an existing TreeAge Pro decision tree for cost-effectiveness calculations, and performing and interpreting baseline cost-effectiveness analysis.

There are some other sections which make great follow-up reading after this section. They include:

• Cost Effectiveness - Further Topics: this provides information on intermediate and advanced cost-effectiveness modeling and analysis options.

• Sensitivity Analysis on CE Models: more details about sensitivity analysis specific to Cost-Effectiveness models.

• Probabilistic Sensitivity Analysis on CE Models: more details about Probabilistic Sensitivity Analysis on Cost-Effectiveness Models.
