COURSE OVERVIEW:
Medicines coverage through health insurance programs can be a scaleable and sustainable means to improve access to and use of medicines. Evidence-based medicines policy decision making is required to achieve maximum benefits at affordable costs. This course for policy makers, analysts, actuaries, and others involved in making medicines policy decisions in health and insurance systems, will enhance participants' skills to identify problems in medicines access and use, and to design, implement, and evaluate medicines benefit policies in health systems.
The course is highly interactive and will consist of small and large group case discussions and hands-on analyses of health insurance program data. During the course, participants will focus on a specific medicines policy issue relevant to their systems, and develop a post-course plan to design and implement a policy intervention to improve key health outcomes.
The Participant Guide contains objectives, discussion questions, learning points and case studies for each session of the course. It also contains one key (bold type) and a list of background readings for each session. We recommend that participants review the key reading before the session.
