An introduction to economic principles and tools applied in healthcare.
Participants learn how health resources are allocated, how to evaluate efficiency and value, and how economic evidence informs clinical and policy decisions.
Covers cost analysis, demand and supply in healthcare, and economic evaluation fundamentals.
Integrating clinical, economic, ethical, and social evidence to evaluate health innovations and guide decisions on coverage, pricing, and adoption.
This module builds on economic principles to teach HTA frameworks, methodologies, and international best practices.
Study of the social, behavioral, environmental, and economic factors — including equity and social justice — that shape health outcomes.
Focus on how health disparities arise and how evidence-based policies can address inequality and promote fairness across populations.
Exploration of how health systems are organized, financed, and governed.

Shifting from volume-based care to value-based outcomes.
Designing VBHC models, defining metrics, and structuring performance-based reimbursement systems.
Mechanisms of resource mobilization, pooling, and allocation.
Insights into government, insurance-based, and mixed financing models.
Comparing payment mechanisms —
fee-for-service, bundled payments, capitation, outcome-based contracts, shared savings — and their impact on incentives and quality.
