• Integration of health economics into clinical trials, observational studies, and other research projects
• Protocol writing and budget allocation for health economic components
• Inclusion of health economic aspects in informed consent forms and patient information packets

Design and implementation of economic evaluation of clinical and public health interventions

• Economic evaluation alongside clinical trials, observational studies (e.g. prospective cohort studies), and registries
• Economic evaluation of public health and health systems intervention, including implementation science
• Economic evaluation based on real-world data (e.g. using target trial emulation)
• Economic evaluation using decision-analytic modelling
• Budget impact analysis

• Support in obtaining patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) data, e.g. health-related quality of life data as a basis for estimating quality-adjusted life years (QALYs)
  • How to measure QALYs systematically using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs)?
  • Enable informed choices of PROMs for specificstudy populations (e.g. EQ-5D-5L, EORTC, QLQ-C30, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, etc.)
• Apply systematic and robust methods of measuring and estimating healthcare costs
  • Identify which costs should be considered. For example:
    • Medication costs
    • Cost of inpatient treatment
    • Cost of outpatient treatment
    • Cost of physiotherapy
    • Cost of lost wages due to illness
  • Select appropriate sources of cost data (e.g. TARDOC, TARMED, Spezialitätenliste, Swiss DRG, etc.)

• Development of Health Economic Analysis Plan
• Preparation and conduct of analyses using, e.g., RStudio, Stata, TreeAge Pro, Microsoft Excel and Visual Basic
• Presentation, reporting, and interpretation of results
