Workshop 2a: Health economic evaluations of person-centered care
Monday May 4, 2026 11:00 - 14:00 R4
Workshop leaders: Hanna Gyllensten, Pia JohanssonTrack: Pre-conference workshops
This first session presents an overview of the methods and the current research frontiers of health economic evaluations of person-centered care. The seminar starts with a general overview of health economic evaluations and their use with priority-setting and decision-making. The presentations then continue with a focus on the methods applied to person-centered care -supplying answers to queries such as: what is known about the cost-effectiveness of person-centered care? Which revisions of standard methods are needed, and why, to create relevant evidence on the costs and benefits of person-centered care? This session also includes participant discussions on specific themes such as identifying costs, valuing patient benefits, and the need for subgroup analyses. A key aim of the discussion will be to ensure participants have an understanding of how the evidence applies to their own country and setting, and the challenges and possibilities of research into health economic aspects of person-centred care. This introductory session requires no preparation or materials. Just bring your curiosity, everything you need will be provided. Target group: Anyone interested in or involved in health economic studies in the field.
