Demonstration of Utility Elicitation

Published: February 2025

This web app provides an interactive demonstration of various methods used to elicit utility values from the general population. Through practical exercises, you can hypothetically value health states using time trade-off, standard gamble, and the visual analogue scale. This tool illustrates YHEC’s capabilities in utility elicitation, a key part of our patient-reported outcomes (PRO) projects. Explore our Outcomes Research webpage for more information about our PRO capabilities.

Neighbourhood Health – Radical Shift or More of the Same?

A central pillar of the NHS 10-Year Health Plan for England is the concept of "neighbourhood health", an ambition to move care out of hospitals and back into our communities. In this blog, Director of NHS Consulting, Nick Hex, and Research Consultant, Hannah Ross, explore whether the neighbourhood health model can truly shift the dial on productivity and health inequalities, or if it remains an elusive panacea. They dig into the economic realities of this transition and ask a vital question: how do we ensure this new model delivers real value for money?

Real-World Evidence in Healthcare

Real-world evidence is often presented as the answer to the limitations of traditional clinical trials. It can be faster to generate, more reflective of routine practice, and better suited to some decision contexts. However, these advantages do not remove the central challenge of evidence interpretation, such as distinguishing genuine treatment effects from misleading signals. In this blog, we explore the foundational biases of causal inference and how to integrate diverse data types to make defensible choices for health systems.

Distributional Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Shaping the Future of Health Equity Within Health Economics

The move towards considering health equity more explicitly within health technology assessment is gaining international momentum. In this blog, I’ve brought together Hayden Holmes, Robert Malcolm, and Angel Varghese to discuss. Here you can read their discussion, where they share different perspectives on issues surrounding health inequalities and how methods, such as DCEA, can help to tackle them.
