• Institute for Health Economics, Sweden: Commissioned Courses
  

  Organization: Institute for Health Economics, Sweden
  Location: Lund, Sweden

  Since 1990, IHE has been conducting seminars on health economics for Sweden's formulary committees. At first these seminars were commissioned by Apoteket AB (the National Corporation of Swedish Pharmacies); later the Federation of County Councils took over this function. The chief purpose of these seminars has been to improve participants ability to evaluate health-economic information - contained in, for example, published studies - by imparting fundamental knowledge to them. The seminars have been arranged as 24-hour residential courses (lunch to lunch) comprising the following elements: health-economic methods and examples; real-life cases with a bearing on health-economic evaluation in various therapeutic areas; economic connection with a decentralisation of responsibility for costs; and current changes in the pharmaceutical field.

  From 2000 onwards, the Federation of County Councils no longer finances IHE's participation in these seminars, claiming that the committees now possess enough funds to pay for this activity themselves. IHE feels that it is essential for the committee's health-economic knowledge to be kept up to date and hence offers continued education based on the committee's own financial means, as well as on its wishes with regard to seminar form, content, target groups, etc. IHE is able to supply practical experience of cases covering particular areas (for instance new therapies such Plavix, Risperdal/Zyprexa, Cox 2- inhibitors) or constituting themes (for example cancer/diabetes and health economics); health-economic methods and examples as independent issues or integrated in various real-life cases; and experiences with generic substitution, economic control, and decision-making support when responsibility for the costs of drugs has been decentralised.
