Develop and Use Modular Health Economic Models

A template model module, tools to help find model modules derived from this template and a programming syntax to use these modules in health economic analyses. These elements are the foundation for a prototype software framework for developing living and transferable models and using those models in reproducible health economic analyses. The software framework is extended by other R libraries. For detailed documentation about the framework and how to use it visit < https://www.ready4-dev.com/>. For a background to the methodological issues that the framework is attempting to help solve, see Hamilton et al. (2024) .
