Creating Open-Source Models for Health Technology Assessment: A Detailed Discussion of the IVI Rheumatoid Arthritis Model

Open-Source Value Project (OSVP) models are built to be entirely open-source, allowing anyone to customize the tool depending on their own assumptions and understanding of value. IVI has released the source code, documentation and suite of tools for its open-source model of health technology assessment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) into the public domain. Our R package and highly customizable model interfaces allow experienced users to choose from over 300 different model structures, vary nearly all model inputs, and assess value using either cost-effectiveness or multi-criteria decision analytic approaches.

Are you interested in the technical and methodological aspects of the model? Join IVI for a webinar about the IVI-RA model and IVI’s open-source modeling approach. Presenters will walk you through the key components of the open-source consensus-based model, how the IVI model generates customized information on rheumatoid arthritis treatments, and how to apply the information in assessing value in health care.
