Seems to me the QALY is so entrenched in many countries it would take a huge effort to move away from it

My 'Framework for the Fair Pricing of Medicines' has just been published as a Leading Article by Pharmacoeconomics. This framework proposes a number of advancements to existing approaches for specifying a 'cost-effectiveness threshold' for new medicines. link.springer.com/article/10…

Including carer outcomes in economic evaluation is important & can reveal unrecognised challenges in HTA decisions. One of these is where patient & carer QALYs point in different directions - work led by @davidjohnmott and colleagues @OHENews @HEU_UoB link.springer.com/article/10…

Terrible grammar is a key sign!

Academic publishing scams are getting very good, having had a paper published yesterday this came through soon after. If it wasn't for the terrible grammar I would have clicked on the link. Be careful out there! I was so pleased I'd been nominated!

In preparation for my new class @HarrisPolicy, I asked ChatGPT: “How to conduct cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA)?” ChatGPT provides a very solid high-level summary, and I don’t think I can do a better job. Thoughts? @PeterNeumann11 @Basucally @AnkurFactorial @WrightCensored

At @ipha's conference. The Minister just mentioned Ireland's €45,000/QALY threshold and that there is an existing pathway for orphan drugs to exceed it. Interesting confirmation of the threshold and that it doesn't always apply.

Long shot but are there any health economist out there would would review a journal paper for me? My last PhD by publication paper has been stuck in one journal for 5 months with no reviewers, I think it is now down to me to find one!
