Interacting Decisions in Economic Evaluation and Health Technology Assessment : Online Workshop
Associate Professor Helen Dakin
Monday, 02 March 2026, 1pm to 2pm
Hosted by King's Health Economics (KHE)
Helen Dakin, an Associate Professor in health economics at the Health Economics Research Centre, University of Oxford will be leading a workshop at King's Health Economics (KHE) titled "Interacting Decisions in Economic Evaluation and Health Technology Assessment"
This workshop will be led by .
It will be held from 1-2 pm on Monday 2nd March
This is a free event that will take place online via Microsoft Teams (see joining details below).
Summary of the talk
The incremental cost-effectiveness of one healthcare intervention often changes depending on decisions about other interventions given concurrently or earlier/later in the pathway. For example, a costly second-line treatment will change the cost-effectiveness of first-line treatment. Not accounting for these ‘interacting decisions’ can result in incorrect conclusions and adoption of treatments that do not maximise expected net benefit.
This webinar will discuss what interacting decisions are, when they may arise, why they matter and how we can deal with them in economic evaluation or health technology assessment. It will give examples of the impact of interacting decisions in renal cell carcinoma and empirical work evaluating different approaches to dealing with treatment sequences using the results of published models.
About Helen Dakin
Helen Dakin is a health economist specialising in methods for assessing the cost-effectiveness of healthcare interventions using randomised trials or decision-analytical models. She is particularly interested in methods to deal with interacting healthcare decisions, uncertainty and factorial trials.
Helen is currently undertaking a fellowship evaluating methods for dealing with interacting decisions in economic evaluation and health technology assessment. She has led health economic analyses of numerous randomised controlled trials, models and observational studies. Click HERE for a more detailed bio.
