Join the Center for Health Decision Science for a seminar with Darius Lakdawalla of the University of Southern California. Generalized Risk-Adjusted Cost-Effectiveness (GRACE) provides a direct method for measuring patient risk preferences and incorporating these into cost-effectiveness estimates. In this presentation, we will discuss: 1) the rationale for GRACE as a way of explaining discordance between traditional cost-effectiveness analysis (TCEA) and the behavior of patients and payers; 2) the economic theory behind GRACE; 3) empirical estimates of GRACE-based utility over health; and 4) a practical approach for estimating GRACE using only inputs from standard TCEA models.
