Health Economics Facility

The HEF is an integrated part of the Faculty of Medicine’s research infrastructure. While running research projects with a health economic focus, the HEF will also function as a resource for research teams in all departments of the Faculty of Medicine and provide health economic expertise for ongoing or planned projects.

The HEF is a founding member of the Basel Center for Health Economics (BCHE).

Current methodological expertise includes:

• Health economic evaluations alongside clinical trials & literature based
  (cost-minimization, cost-effectiveness, cost-utility analysis)
• Budget Impact Analysis (BIA)
• Health Technology Assessment (HTA)
• Health services and outcomes research
• Analysis of health insurance claims data and Real World Data (RWD)
• Systematic reviews and meta-analyses
• Applied behavioural economics

Educational programs in health economics will be developed in the context of the BCHE.
