Modeling Approaches for HTA: A Practical Hands-on Workshop - Hall in Tirol

3-Day Certified University Course

15 - 17 April 2026

Five Model Types – Four Software Options – Ready to Take the Challenge?

Start of the course: 9:00 am on 15 April 2026
End of the course: 5:00 pm (6:30 pm if you do the exam) on 17 April 2026



► Modeling Approaches for HTA

 

Course Overview

Decision trees - Markov models - Microsimulation models - Discrete event simulation models - Infectious disease models 

There are a number of other modeling courses focusing on either theory or only selected modeling approaches. In contrast, our course combines theoretical concepts with practical hands-on exercises comprising five different modeling techniques applied in Public Health and HTA. We will use four different software packages depending on the modeling area. Real world case examples from different acute and chronic diseases will be discussed.
 
 

The course is aimed at members of:

  • Healthcare & health policy organizations, national HTA Agencies
  • Pharmaceutical & medical device industry
  • Academia and research institutions
  • Health insurances/sickness funds
  • Consultancy organizations

 

Course Pre-requisites:

Course language is English. Both native and non-native English speaker scientists are welcome.

 

Agenda

  • Modeling overview and taxonomy
  • Decision trees, state-transition models (Markov models) and partitioned survival models
  • Handling uncertainty and variability
  • Microsimulation models
  • Discrete event simulation models
  • Handling individual behavior and waiting lines
  • Agent-based models
  • Handling contact and network structure
