CARO J. Jaime

Honorary Visiting Professor Email jaime.caro@mcgill.ca CARO J. Jaime I trained in medicine and epidemiology at McGill University but early on focused on health technology assessment. Most of my work is on methods development and teaching these new approaches. For Germany’s IQWiG, I proposed the use of efficiency frontiers as they rejected using the QALY. Recently, I have developed the DICE simulation method, a unified approach to modeling that enables rapid, standardized and less error-prone forecasting models. Work on a broader approach than QALYs to value health benefits is ongoing. Leveraging mixed
