NICE provides national guidance and advice to improve health and social care guided by University of York’s world renowned Centre for Health Economics (CHE).
How does NICE support the York Narrative? Here's some examples...
CHE developed the Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY), the gold standard measure of the quantity and quality of life, used by NICE.
CHE has demonstrated the value of investing in healthcare, studying the effectiveness of public health policies targeting, for example, obesity and has examined waiting times and hospital efficiency, and compared the costs and benefits of hundreds of surgical techniques and interventions.
CHE developed the formula that has been used to allocate health resources equitably for more than 20 years.
