Modeling Approaches for HTA: a Practical Hands-On Workshop

There is an interesting workshop coming up on various HTA modeling approaches. It is taking place right before the Society for Medical Decision Making’s Biennial European meeting in Austria, May 2010.

This workshop is organized by Uwe Siebert and colleagues, and will cover:

• Modeling overview and taxonomy
• Decision trees, state-transition and Markov models
• Handling uncertainty and variability

---

• Microsimulation models
• Discrete event simulation models
• Handling individual behavior and waiting lines

---

• Infectious disease models
• Handling dynamic transmissions and herd immunity
• Other modeling approaches (e.g., agent-based models, system dynamics models, causal influence models, biologic systems models)
