is used to
inform decision makers on the level of the health care
system or at the population lev

The consortium
IFEDH (

new strategy to integrate modelling and simulation into
the process of HTA, which deals with
limited
resources
and upcoming new techno
logies. Dynamic and static
modeling is getting more and more essential for this
process. Simulation can help decision makers to
compare various technologies comparing different goal
functions on a basis of evidence. Most important for
this is a reliable an
d reproducible process of modeling
and computing of simulations. We will present the
developed fundamental framework which connects the
most important areas for getting decision bases:
Developing the PICO questions, data acquisition and
evaluating of data
, developing models and interpreting
the results. IFEDH is funded by The Austrian Research
Promotion Agency (FFG).
