Value based pricing/assessment
The DSU has been working to support NICE with the implementation of Value Based Pricing (now Value Based Assessment) in 2013-14.
We have produced reports which consider the issues associated with implementing the Department of Health (DH) estimated values for Wider Societal Benefits into cost effectiveness models of the type typically submitted to NICE Appraisals (reports one and two).
We have also provided commentary and critical review of the DH proposals around 'Burden of illness' (report three) and 'Wider societal benefits' (report four).
