R-HTA is a consortium focused on popularising the use of R for health economics and health technology assessment (HTA). The main body of R-HTA includes members primarily from the Americas and UK, who have diverse experience in government (including NICE in the UK), academia, and industry. The aims of R-HTA, in general, are to:
- Provide discussion on the many R packages available to HTA analysts;
- Assist users to get the most out of R for cost-effectiveness analysis; and
- Host presentations and public discussions to facilitate the development of R for HTA
‘R-HTA in LMICs’ is the LMIC-focused chapter of this consortium that aims to introduce and showcase the strengths of R specifically to LMIC analysts and health care institutions
