Project

Health economic evaluations of health care systems and public health campaigns

Health economic evaluations based on mathematical modelling provide many opportunities in the fields of epidemiology, health care management and quality of care. The aim of this research project is to apply and extend model-based health economic research to primary care practices, nursing teams, infectious disease management and multi-morbidity. Part 1 targets out-of-hours care in Belgium, which is increasingly organized in general practitioner cooperatives. They provide a valuable addition to more expensive emergency departments within the hospital setting. Part 2 targets nursing teams in the acute hospital setting and the cost-effectiveness of interventions based on the decision support instrument BNuT. The aim is to evaluate the costs of different nursing team compositions and interventions to improve the team performance and patient outcomes. Part 3 aims to improve the use of stochastic individual-based modelling for health economic evaluations. Structural issues on the interplay between uncertainty and stochasticity will be investigated with case studies for COVID-19. Part 4 targets economic evaluations of non-communicable and chronic diseases in ageing populations.
