Description

This course will examine the theory and practice of economic evaluation of health care programs using cost benefit analysis. An actual health care program will be as an example of how economic principles can be used to measure the cost-effectiveness of different health interventions. In addition, a financial model of the healthcare program will be developed and the use of discounting techniques and sensitivity analysis will be explored.
