Pharmacoeconomic approaches are increasingly being found in medical and health outcomes research and used as a tool for health care decision making process. This course introduces the basic concepts, terminology, and methods associated with pharmacoeconomic studies. Students understand and review the principles of pharmacoeconomics and discuss their application to the evaluation of medication use and treatment outcomes, how these tools are used in practice and factors that limit their use or interpretation. Students learn the role of study perspective in the selection of cost/consequence parameters and the impact on study design and interpretation of results. The course reviews and compares the commonly used generic and disease-specific measures of health-related quality of life measures. The students examine the definitions for and methods of establishing the validity and reliability of a health-related quality of life measure. Application and reinforcement of pharmacoeconomics will continue throughout the pharmacotherapy series.
