On behalf of health economists, thank you to Cancer Australia for launching the Australian Comprehensive Cancer Network (ACCN)!
At yesterday’s Innovation Showcase, research groups from VIC, QLD, ACT, SA and Cancer Institute NSW demonstrated their innovative approaches to collecting, analysing and sharing data to improve cancer care for patients.
Collaboration with health economists through data linkage and sharing is vital for demonstrating the clinical and cost-effectiveness of new healthcare interventions. These data are crucial for our reimbursement submissions to the PBAC and MSAC!
