PANEL: RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SECOND PANEL ON COST-EFFECTIVENESS IN HEALTH AND MEDICINE

Monday, October 24, 2016: 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
Stanley Park Ballroom 123, Second Floor (Westin Bayshore Vancouver)

Since publication of the report of the Panel on Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicine in 1996, researchers have advanced methods of cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA), and policy makers have experimented with its application. In this session, members of the Panel will present the recommendations of the Second Panel on Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicine, highlighting key areas of change from the original Panel’s report. The Second Panel endorses the original Panel’s concept of a “Reference Case” or set of standard methodological practices that all CEAs should follow to improve quality and comparability. However, the Second Panel reconsidered issues surrounding the appropriate perspective of the Reference Case and recommends that all CEAs report two Reference Case analyses: one based on a healthcare sector perspective and one based on a societal perspective. The Second Panel also recommends an “Impact Inventory,” intended to clarify the scope and boundaries of the two Reference Case analyses. The session will provide an overview of these recommendations and others concerning the estimation of the costs and consequences of interventions, the valuation of health outcomes, and the reporting of CEAs. A full day conference on the Panel’s recommendations will be held December 7th at the National Academy of Sciences.
