Modelling for cost-effectiveness analysis

Statistics in Medicine, 1999
A model creates the framework for a cost-effectiveness analysis, allowing decision makers to explore the implications of using an intervention in different ways and under different conditions. To serve its purpose a model must produce accurate predictions and allow for substantial variation in the factors that influence costs and effects.

Will Cost Effectiveness Analysis Worsen the Cost Effectiveness of Health Care?

International Journal of Health Services, 1988
