School of Public Health · Regional Resource Centre for HTA · AIIMS Bhopal
A one-day workshop for faculty, senior and junior residents, and research project staff, Wednesday 23 September 2026. The day is about reading and appraising published economic evaluations. Each group of three holds one published Indian evaluation all day and applies each session to it, ending in a report-back in the last session. The morning takes a cost-effectiveness ratio apart and builds one; the afternoon asks what such a ratio is worth.

Decks run in any browser with no internet: reveal.js is included in this folder. Arrow keys to move, Esc for the slide overview. PPTX downloads the same deck as an editable PowerPoint file: the text is real text you can change, and the speaker notes come with it. Diagrams, equations and the interactive widgets arrive as pictures. Session 7b is a written teaching resource rather than a deck, so its PowerPoint is a page by page rendering: use the HTML version for the foldable R code and the tabbed sections.

What each group should find, and the point of each paper. Not for participants.
23 questions with answers and explanations, timed to each session.
Standalone pages, usable on a phone, each explaining the idea it makes visible. Five are embedded in the decks; all six are worth ten minutes on your own.
Sort eight studies into Drummond's six boxes.
Which costs count, and under which perspective.
Drag the corners; a QALY is an area.
What a discount rate does to prevention.
Quadrants, the threshold line and dominance.

Where this came from. The five teaching blocks began as a postgraduate course, Introduction to Economic Evaluation in Health, and were adapted here for this audience. The opening, costing and modelling decks, the paper pack, the worksheet and the poll bank were built for this day.
These slides, widgets and handouts were developed with Claude (Anthropic), which compressed months of drafting into days: building the decks and interactive widgets, assembling the paper pack, and turning the Indian Reference Case into an appraisal form.
The teaching judgements are human: what to cover, what to cut, which papers to set, and what each session should leave people able to do. Every citation, figure and PMID was verified against the primary source, and the organising team is responsible for the content.
