An Insurance Value Modeling Approach That Captures the Wider Value of a Novel Antimicrobial to Health Systems, Patients, and the Population by Mei S. Chan, Richard Holloway, Robert King, Rosie Polya, Rebecca Sloan, Jack C. Kowalik, Tom Ashfield, Luke S.P. Moore, Thomas Porter, Jonathan Pearson-Stuttard

“…**Methods:** A novel mixed-methods approach was used to model insurance value in the United Kingdom: (1) literature review and multidisciplinary expert workshops to identify risk events for 4 relevant scenarios: ward closures, unavoidable shortage of conventional antimicrobials, viral respiratory pandemics, and catastrophic antimicrobial resistance (AMR); (2) parameterizing mitigable costs and frequencies of risk events across perspectives and scenarios; (3) estimating insurance value through a Monte Carlo simulation model for extreme events and a dynamic disease transmission model. …”
