E-drug: Workshop on Pharmacoeconomics ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement: Workshop on Pharmacoeconomics: "Decentralization and equity in access to drugs", Bali, Indonesia, 26-26 September 2002. With the enactment of decentralization and devolution, local governments in many developing countries will have to plan and purchase the drugs and supplies needed for their respective area. Since before this changes planning and purchasing of drugs and supplies is managed directly by central authorities; the capacity of local health officials need to be improved. A three-day workshop has been designed to provide technical knowledge in the methods used to improve equity in drugs provision. The workshop will provide detailed instruction and practical experience in measuring cost analysis and the cost effectiveness of Drugs Provision. Quantification of the value of health-care products, especially drugs, is seen as an increasingly important process, and is central to the role of health services. The use of these drugs in practice will be increasingly determined not only by their effectiveness but also by the cost of technology. In essence the rising cost of health care will force decisions to be made regarding both the effectiveness of the technology and the overall cost implications. Therefore the purpose of this workshop is to discuss various techniques, tools, and strategies to evaluate the economic contribution of specific drug therapies at local level and for individual patient needs. Pharmacoeconomics has been defined as the description and analysis of the cost of the drug therapy to health-care systems and society. In essence, pharmacoeconomic analysis uses tools for improving the planning and provision of drugs, encouragement of rational use of drugs and improving the drug planning. Objectives of the workshop are to: 1. to empower local health officials in decentralized districts/cities     in planning, purchasing, distribution and uses of drugs and     supplies effectively, efficiently and ensuring access of the poor 2. to improve capabilities of hospital management in applying     pharmacoeconomic principles at hospital setting 3. to improve capabilities of health insurance/managed care     management in applying pharmacoeconomic principles at health     insurance setting WORKSHOP TOPICS 1.
