Modeling Approaches for HTA: A Practical Hands-on Workshop

10-12 April 2019

Early Booking Deadline until 31 January 2019

We are pleased to announce our eighth 3-Day Certificate Course “Modeling Approaches for HTA: A Practical Hands-On Workshop”, 10-12 April 2019 to be held in Hall in Tirol, Austria.

Course Directors:
Beate Jahn, PhD, Assistant Professor, UMIT - University for Health Sciences, Medical Informatics & Technology, Austria
Ron Goeree, MA, Professor Emeritus, Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, McMaster University
Uwe Siebert, MD, MPH, MSc, ScD, Professor of Public Health and Health Technology Assessment, UMIT - University for Health Sciences, Medical Informatics and Technology, Austria

The workshop combines theoretical concepts with practical hands-on exercises comprising five different modeling techniques applied in Public Health and HTA. Real-world case examples from different acute and chronic diseases will be discussed. The course covers the following subjects:
•	Modeling overview and taxonomy 
•	Decision trees, state-transition models (Markov models) and partitioned survival models 
•	Microsimulation models 
•	Discrete event simulation models 
•	Infectious disease models 
•	Other modeling approaches (e.g., agent-based models, system dynamics models, causal inference models, biologic systems models) 
•	Handling uncertainty and variability 
•	Handling individual behavior and waiting lines 
•	Handling dynamic transmissions and herd immunity
 
Online booking for this course is available via www.umit.at/htads
