- Grasp the economic frameworks pivotal for Australian health technology assessment (HTA) submissions.

- Establishing the PICO (Population/Intervention/Comparator/Outcomes) framework is the first step. Once set and backed with clinical evidence or to justify the clinical claim, the spotlight shifts to the economic evidence.
- A convincing economic analysis means highlighting the value-for-money proposition of the intervention, without overlooking inherent uncertainties.
- Claims asserting clinical superiority must be bolstered by a top-tier economic evaluation.
