(replay) All the videos of the 29th September hospinnomics Launch event
Purpose and general theme
The newly endowed chair in health economics, Hospinnomics, set up under the auspices of PSE and AP-HP, has been given an explicit dual goal of producing policy-oriented research and contributing to evidence-based decisions. An international benchmark study has been carried out to identify ways of achieving this dual goal. This launch event, which draws on the findings of the benchmark study, brings together health economists from different countries and decision-makers to reflect on the actual impact of health economics research on decision-making.
Organisation
The launch event is organised in three parts:
- The first part (Monday afternoon, September 29th) addresses the question of whether incentives can and/or should be designed to increase health economists’ impact on decision-making processes. To address the issue of the feasibility of such incentive schemes, which require establishing causal links between research and decision, researchers have been invited to present a publication (report, article), which they consider as having had an impact (or not) on policy decision. The focus of the panel discussion that will follow the presentations will be on causality inference and the technical challenges it raises. Conclusions will be drawn from panelists and from the audience on the desirability of incentive schemes and other tools to reward policy impact in research.
- The second part (Monday, late afternoon and evening, September 29th) brings together economists and decision-makers at two roundtables focusing respectively on reforming payment schemes and developing economic evaluation in France. The launch reception follows on.
- The third part (Tuesday morning, September 30th) is an interactive workshop bringing together researchers and decision-makers to design future collaborations on three central issues for hospinnomics: reforming payment schemes, eliciting individual and collective preferences and pricing innovation.
