Going Beyond the Health-Related QALY

In this lecture David Mott explores outcomes beyond individual health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and discuss the impact of  broader dimensions such as well-being and societal value.

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) refers to an individual’s or a group’s perceived physical and mental health over time. It goes beyond the traditionally diagnosable health outcomes and focuses on the impact of health on a person’s ability to live a fulfilling life. This concept encompasses both positive and negative aspects of well-being, including physical, psychological, and social functioning. In health care, HRQoL is assessed to understand how an individual’s well-being may be affected by a disease, disability, or disorder.

David explores three critical areas:

  1. Going beyond individual health-related quality of life
  2. The approaches that capture broader outcomes such as wellbeing
  3. The debate on the inclusion of families and carers’ health-related quality of life

David Mott

David's research interests broadly focus on the valuation of healthcare benefits. This includes describing health and valuing health states for the generation of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) as well as the valuation and incorporation of broader outcomes (e.g. non-health outcomes or well-being) into the health technology assessment process. David has methodological expertise in stated preference methodologies such as discrete choice experiments (DCEs), time trade-off (TTO) and contingent valuation (CV) and has used these methods to answer a wide range of different research questions. He has an ongoing research interest in the use of patient preference information in healthcare decision-making (see Mott, 2018), stemming from his doctoral research, and has spoken on issue panels at leading international health economics conferences on this subject.
