Comprendere il processo di valutazione delle tecnologie in ambito sanitario, acquisendo la capacità di leggere e strutturare un report di HTA.

Il corso fornisce agli studenti i principi, i concetti e i metodi impiegati nelle procedure di valutazione delle tecnologie sanitarie. Approfondisce gli approcci multidimensionali coinvolti nell'HTA, includendo biostatistica e metodologia economica utilizzate per valutare le evidenze (Overall Strength of Evidence).

Introduzione di nuove tecnologie: processi di approvazione e rimborso.

Prospettiva multidisciplinare dell’HTA e ruolo delle agenzie nazionali e internazionali di HTA.

Struttura del rapporto HTA: revisione delle misure di efficacia clinica, analisi dell'impatto economico e valutazione complessa tramite il modello di Markov.

Revisioni sistematiche in HTA. Come sintetizzare i risultati: forest plot e funnel plot.

Non ci sono corsi obbligatori, tuttavia gli studenti trarranno beneficio dall’aver seguito i corsi di “biostatistics”, “health economics” e “Turning Clinical Experience Into Research Projects”.

Lezioni frontali con teoria e applicazioni pratiche.
