This module provides an introduction to Budget Impact Analysis, a common tool used to inform decision-making in health contexts. BIAs have been called scenario testing and “what-if” calculations, and in the end, they are about estimating the impact on the bottom line. If you’ve ever heard of a “budget analyst”, BIA is most often what they spend their time doing. This training module will present the fundamentals of BIA. No prior knowledge of economics is required.

The module uses both sound and visuals to explain how research impacts day-to-day practice. The audio portion of the presentation isn’t just a reading of the slides, but is aimed at providing a more expressive presentation of the material. If you are in a situation where you can’t listen to the audio, just look for the transcript under the notes tab.
