Applied Workshop - Using Discrete Choice Experiments in Health Economics: Theoretical and Practical Issues

April 9 - 11, 2012

In publicly provided health care systems finite resources coupled with increasing demand for health care requires decisions about what is the most efficient allocation of scarce health care resources. This requires information about the costs and benefits of health care. Given the lack of a market for health care, economic techniques provide values for health care benefits. One technique adopted by and further developed in health economics over the past decade is the discrete choice experiment (DCE) approach. Given the increasing importance put on patient centred care, and the recognised importance of valuing patient experiences in the delivery of health care, the application of DCEs in health is likely to increase.
