Abstract

This increase in probability of cost effectiveness, coupled with a substantially reduced potential opportunity loss could influence a decision maker’s confidence in making a reimbursement decision. On discussions with the decision maker we now intend to incorporate the use of VOI into our HTA process. Copyright Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2012
