Themes

OHE’s work is categorised into four broad themes.

Economics of Innovation

OHE conducts multi-disciplinary research to support sustainable incentives for health technology development that advances patient care and maximises the value of innovation for society.

Measuring and Valuing Outcomes

We conduct applied and methodological research to identify and understand the outcomes that matter to patients, carers, and/or society, the value they assign to those outcomes, and how best to incorporate these outcomes and values in decision-making.

Policy, Organisation and Incentives in Health Systems

Development of effective health system policy requires an understanding of organisational structures, funding streams, and incentive mechanisms that shape how healthcare interventions and innovations are adopted and utilised .

Value, Affordability, and Decision Making

Efficient decisions about the allocation of health care budgets require the assessment of the effects of health care interventions and of the value for money that they provide. Decision-making processes leading to funding decisions should be structured and evidence-based.
