This course presents an overview of budget impact analysis, the 6-step approach to developing budget impact analyses, and various practical applications. The course will review the basics of budget impact analysis, interpretation of results, and simplicity versus accuracy and face validity. Technical topics will include static versus dynamic budget impact models, considerations for device and diagnostic technologies, and realistic features such as patient copayments and use of generics. The instructors will walk through two different budget impact analyses programmed in Excel (one static and one dynamic) and work with participants during hands-on exercises to enhance these models. The Excel-based budget impact models used for the course will be provided to participants in advance of the presentation. This course is designed for those who are interested in learning the basics of budget impact analysis and desire exposure to these analyses in Excel. Participants who wish to gain hands-on experience must have Microsoft Excel for Windows installed on their computers.
PREREQUISITE: Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel is required.
