Participants will learn how to collect and calculate the costs of different health care or health care economic evaluation alternative treatments, determine the economic impact of clinical outcomes, and how to identify, track, and assign costs to different types of health care resources used. The development of economic protocols and data collection sheets will be discussed. Different health economic models and techniques will be demonstrated, including: cost-minimization, cost-of-illness, cost-effectiveness, cost-benefit, and cost-utility analysis. Decision analysis, sensitivity analysis, and discounting will also be demonstrated. Participants will learn to compare and evaluate interventions such as drugs, devices, and clinical services. INTRODUCTION TO MODELING (Presented in Spanish) Pacará A (5th Floor) TRACK: Modeling Methods LEVEL: Introductory. This introductory course requires a familiarity with decision analysis.

Using a series of related examples, the course will carefully review the practical steps involved in developing and using these kinds of models. Instructors will cover the practical steps involved in the selection and modeling of data inputs and practical aspects related to the determination of when, why, and how to handle stochastic (i.e., first order Monte Carlo Simulations) and probabilistic (i.e., second order Monte Carlo Simulations) uncertainty. MORNING COURSES (8:00-12:00) EXTRACTING COST DATA FOR ECONOMIC ANALYSIS IN LATIN AMERICA (Presented in Spanish) Buen Ayre B (2nd Floor) TRACK: Economic Methods LEVEL: Intermediate.

The objective is to help the participant bridge the gap between understanding pharmacoeconomic theory and the practice of developing cost estimates. Factors to consider when costing pharmacoeconomic analyses, such as perspective, data sources, data classification systems, developing resource use profiles, obtaining unit costs, and making cost adjustments, will be presented. Examples of issues encountered when identifying and extracting cost data will be discussed. APPLIED MODELING (Portions presented in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, with simultaneous interpretation provided) Buen Ayre C (2nd Floor) TRACK: Modeling Methods LEVEL: Advanced. PREREQUISITE: This course is suitable for those who are familiar with modeling methods and/or those who have previously taken the ISPOR Short Course, “Introduction to Modeling.” FACULTY: Manuel Antonio Espinoza, MD, MSc, PhD, Health Economist, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Public Health, Catholic University of Chile and Scientific Advisor, Department EspinozaSculpher BriggsSaramango ISPOR 4th Latin America Conference 12-14 September 2013 • Buenos Aires, Argentina short course program continued of Scientific Affairs, Institute of Public Health of Chile, Santiago, Chile; Mark Sculpher, PhD, MSc, Professor of Health Economics, Centre for Health Economics, University of York, Heslington York, UK; Andrew Briggs, DPhil, MSc, William R Lindsay Chair of Health Economics, Health Economics & Health Technology Assessment, Institute of Health & Wellbeing, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK; Pedro Saramago, PhD, MSc, Research Fellow, Centre for Health Economics, University of York, Heslington, York, UK COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is a hands-on introduction to the use of software in the creation and analysis of cost-effectiveness decision models. The basics of cost-effectiveness decision making as well as building and analyzing a simple decision tree will be discussed. Markov modeling and Monte Carlo simulation will be introduced. All participants must bring a Windows laptop computer with Microsoft Excel® 2007 installed and running. AFTERNOON COURSES (13:00-17:00) HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE / UTILITY MEASURES (Presented in Spanish) Buen Ayre B (2nd Floor) TRACK: Patient-Reported Outcomes / Preference Methods LEVEL: Introductory/Intermediate. This course is for those with some experience AlfonsoCabra with quality-of-life measures in health economic evaluation. FACULTY: Rafael Alfonso, MD, MSc, PhD, Scientific Director, Surgical Outcomes Research Center & Comparative Effectiveness Translation Network & Research Assistant Professor, Department of Surgery, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA; Hermilo Arturo Cabra, MSc, Senior Market Access Manager (Global), Global Strategic Marketing, Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc., Cincinnati, OH, USA COURSE DESCRIPTION: Conceptual, methodological, and practical methods for measuring quality of life, health status, and other types of health outcomes will be presented. Utility measurement, a method of determining an individual’s preference for a certain outcome represented by a quantitative score (utility), will also be reviewed. Methods for measuring preference-based outcomes like the standard gamble, time trade-off, and visual analogue scale will be demonstrated. Additionally, utility-based instruments such as EQ-5D, HUI, QWQ, and SF-36 will be briefly discussed. Utility measurement however is not only about mastering these techniques; it is about using them in such a way that health care decision makers can apply the results, for instance in cost-per-QALY analyses. For this purpose, one needs to be aware of shortcomings of the available utility measures and potential solutions. Furthermore, one should be aware of the decision-making context and the way results are interpreted. To equip participants with expertise in the field of utility measurement, the most important issues will be discussed, such as potential insensitivity of generic instruments for particular disease specific problems, and to what extent adaptation of generic or disease-specific quality of life instruments may offer a solution. Also the issue of “whose values count: patient values or values from the general public?” will be discussed. Finally, we turn to interpretation in the context of resource allocation. BUDGET IMPACT ANALYSIS (Presented in English with simultaneous interpretation to Spanish & Portuguese) Buen Ayre C (2nd Floor) TRACK: Economic Methods LEVEL: Intermediate. This course is designed for those with some experience with pharmacoeconomic analysis. FACULTY: C. Daniel Mullins, PhD, Professor & Chair, Pharmaceutical Health Services Research, University of Mullins Maryland School of Pharmacy, Baltimore, MD, USA COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course will describe methods to determine the costs associated with a health condition and the budget impact of new technologies for that condition. The course will present incidenceand prevalence-based costing strategies. Treatment algorithms and event-based approaches will be demonstrated for disease-specific costs from different decision-maker perspectives. Both static and dynamic methods for estimating the budget impact of adding a new drug to a health plan formulary will be presented. Issues related to imputing missing data will also be discussed.

Various initiatives currently exist in Latin America and the Caribbean at a regional level dedicated to promoting the adequate use of health care technologies. Some of these initiatives (for instance, the Pan American Health Organization ProVac initiative [Promotion of Evidence-Based Decision Making for the Introduction of New & Underutilized Vaccines], dedicated to new and underutilized vaccines) focus on the incorporation of economic evaluations using common tools for health care decision making at the country-level. Others (such as RedETSA, the HTA Network for the Americas) bring together various health technology assessment (HTA) agencies and institutions throughout the Americas to work together as a network in advancing the diverse aspects of HTA. Still Augustovski others (such as the World Bank Institute’s Priority Setting and Constitutional Mandates in Health) concentrate on the importance of interactions between the health care system and the judicial system, since the majority of countries in Latin America guarantee health care as a universal right within their national Constitutions. In this session, speakers will discuss the achievements and challenges of each of these regional initiatives.

However, in many countries in Latin America, where the right to health is constitutional, legal resources at the individual level generally hinder the definition of coverage and benefit policies, leading to a high degree of prosecution. This session attempts to describe these two worlds and evaluate possible solutions for this issue. Presented by the ISPOR Argentina Regional Chapter.
