Economic Evaluation Methods
DCP3 includes both synthesis of a large number of existing research studies as well as new analyses and advancing economic methods. Many of the methods and syntheses are published in DCP3 chapters and separately in peer-reviewed journal articles, however some original analyses are only published in journal articles.
In addition synthesizing cost, cost-effectiveness, and benefit-cost analyses DCP3 has developed innovative methods or modelling costs of packages of care and has developed a new evaluation method known as extended cost-effectiveness analysis (ECEA).
Most of DCP3's work on costing was to synthesize existing studies. In addition, DCP3 developed methods of costing packages of interventions.
