Job description

1. Job Summary

MNC JOBS INFO is seeking a detail-oriented and analytical Health Economics Analyst - Outcomes and Cost Evaluation to support healthcare research, economic evaluations, and evidence-based decision-making. The successful candidate will contribute to assessing the economic value of healthcare interventions, medical technologies, pharmaceutical products, and healthcare delivery strategies by analysing clinical outcomes, treatment costs, resource utilisation, and patient-reported outcomes.

In this role, the analyst will work with healthcare researchers, health economists, clinical specialists, statisticians, market access teams, and other stakeholders to generate reliable evidence that supports healthcare investment decisions, reimbursement strategies, and resource allocation. The position involves conducting cost-effectiveness analyses, cost-utility assessments, budget impact evaluations, and outcomes research using appropriate analytical methods and validated data sources.

The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in health economics, healthcare data analysis, and health outcomes research. They should be comfortable interpreting complex datasets, preparing technical reports, and communicating analytical findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.

This opportunity is suitable for professionals with backgrounds in health economics, economics, public health, health services research, biostatistics, pharmacy, life sciences, or related disciplines who are interested in improving healthcare value through rigorous economic evaluation.

2. Key Responsibilities
Health Economic Evaluation

Conduct cost-effectiveness, cost-utility, cost-benefit, and cost-consequence analyses to evaluate healthcare interventions and treatment options.

Compare the clinical and economic outcomes of alternative healthcare strategies, medicines, medical devices, and treatment pathways.

Estimate incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) and interpret incremental health outcomes, including quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), where appropriate.

Support the development of decision‑analytic models, including decision trees, Markov models, and other suitable modelling approaches.

Assess the economic implications of changes in clinical practice, treatment guidelines, and healthcare delivery models.

Healthcare Outcomes Research

Analyse clinical outcomes, patient-reported outcomes, treatment effectiveness, quality of life, and healthcare utilisation data.

Support real‑world evidence studies using observational datasets, registries, claims data, electronic health records, and other relevant healthcare information sources.

Identify meaningful healthcare outcome measures and assess their relevance to patients, providers, payers, and healthcare decision‑makers.

Evaluate treatment pathways, disease burden, hospitalisation rates, adverse events, and other indicators that may influence healthcare costs and outcomes.

Collaborate with research teams to interpret clinical and economic evidence and identify opportunities for improving patient outcomes.

Cost Analysis and Budget Impact Assessment

Collect, validate, and analyse direct medical costs, indirect costs, treatment expenses, hospitalisation costs, and healthcare resource utilisation data.

Develop budget impact models to estimate the financial consequences of adopting new healthcare interventions.

Assess the potential economic impact of introducing new medicines, diagnostic technologies, treatment protocols, and healthcare services.

Conduct scenario analyses to examine how changes in patient populations, treatment costs, clinical effectiveness, and market uptake may influence results.

Identify the key cost drivers affecting healthcare expenditure and recommend areas for further investigation.

Data Management and Statistical Analysis

Extract, clean, organise, and validate datasets obtained from clinical studies, healthcare databases, published research, and other approved sources.

Apply appropriate statistical and analytical methods to identify trends, relationships, cost patterns, and outcome differences.

Use analytical tools such as Microsoft Excel, R, Python, SAS, or Stata, depending on project requirements.

Perform sensitivity analyses, uncertainty assessments, and scenario testing to evaluate the robustness of economic models.

Maintain clear documentation of assumptions, data sources, calculations, model structures, and analytical decisions.

Research and Evidence Development

Conduct structured literature reviews to identify relevant clinical evidence, economic evaluations, treatment costs, and published health outcomes.

Review scientific publications, clinical guidelines, health technology assessment reports, and economic evaluation studies.

Support the preparation of health technology assessment (HTA) submissions, reimbursement dossiers, value assessment reports, and market access evidence.

Contribute to research protocols, analytical plans, technical reports, abstracts, posters, and scientific manuscripts.

Ensure that research outputs are consistent with applicable methodological standards, project requirements, and relevant reporting guidelines.

Stakeholder Collaboration and Reporting

Work closely with multidisciplinary teams to define research objectives, analytical approaches, project timelines, and expected deliverables.

Present findings through clear reports, data visualisations, tables, charts, and presentations.

Explain complex economic concepts and analytical results in accessible language for non‑technical stakeholders.

Incorporate feedback from reviewers, clients, researchers, and project leads into final deliverables.

Maintain confidentiality and follow applicable data protection, research ethics, and quality assurance requirements.
