CHANGING PARADIGMS IN HEALTH ECONOMICS OF GENOMICS AND ADVANCED
MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS
“Bridging Science and Health Policy” 30 September 2015, Vienna
www.githe.eu
 
GITHE’s work program adopts a broader characterization of the term PM in line with current opinions expressed by international panels. Therefore, GITHE’s work will focus on the many dimensions in which PM may bring health economics value to individuals in the society, including supporting the development and technology assessment of selected biomarkers and diagnostic information on disease prevention and treatment outcomes (i.e. prognostic factor research); the development, validation, and impact of models that predict individual risk of a future outcome (i.e. prognostic model research); the use of prognostic information to help tailor treatment decisions to an individual (i.e. personalized medicine) or group of individuals (i.e. stratified medicine) with similar characteristics; the elicitation and measurement of the value individuals place on prognostic information and how this is used in their decision making process in the medical encounter.
 
With its focus on evaluation of early (preclinical) technologies, GITHE can enhance and accelerate development of promising personalized medicine technologies by identifying those with high potential for economic benefit, as well as identifying key factors related to the technology that will “drive” cost-effectiveness (e.g., test sensitivity, practicality of use, acceptability by the user).
