Health Economics 101: Everyone is an Economist, They Just Don't Know It! - Alberta Strategy for Patient Oriented Research SUPPORT Unit (AbSPORU)

Health Economics 101: Everyone is an Economist, They Just Don’t Know It!

Speaker: Dr. Jeff Round, Institute of Health Economics

Description: In this presentation, the speaker seeks to enhance participants’ understanding of the fundamental concepts of economics and the rationales that guide their use in health care resource allocation decision making. The aim is to illustrate how the principles of economics go beyond just the price of a good through to the value that good provides and whether it is worth paying for. This presentation will help participants understand how they use economic concepts in their everyday lives, before showing how those same concepts underpin the use of economic evaluation in HTA – including the assessment of issues such as value, equity and ethics.

Land Acknowledgment

The Alberta SPOR SUPPORT Unit operates on and acknowledges the lands that are the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Métis Nation of Alberta. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We make this acknowledgment as a reaffirmation of our shared commitment towards reconciliation, and as part of AbSPORU’s mandate towards fostering health system transformation.
