Overview

About

Maintained by Shubhram PandeyCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Implements a structured, reproducible framework for budget impact modelling (BIM) in health technology assessment (HTA), following the ISPOR Task Force guidelines (Sullivan et al. (2014) doi:10.1016/j.jval.2013.08.2291 and Mauskopf et al. (2007) doi:10.1111/j.1524-4733.2007.00187.x). Provides functions for epidemiology-driven population estimation, market share modelling with flexible uptake dynamics, per-patient cost calculation across multiple cost categories, multi-year budget projections, payer perspective analysis, deterministic sensitivity analysis (DSA), and probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA) via Monte Carlo simulation. Produces submission-quality outputs including ISPOR-aligned summary tables, scenario comparison tables, per-patient cost breakdowns, tornado diagrams, PSA histograms, and text and HTML reports compatible with NICE, CADTH, and EU-HTA dossier formats. Ships with an interactive 'shiny' dashboard built on 'bslib' for point-and-click model building and exploration.

Changes in 0.1.0

Initial CRAN release (2026-03-01)

New functions

bim_population() — epidemiology-driven patient population estimation with prevalent, incident, and combined approaches.
bim_market_share() — treatment market share modelling with constant, linear, logistic, and step uptake dynamics.
bim_costs() — per-patient annual cost inputs across drug, administration, monitoring, adverse events, and other categories.
bim_costs_drug() — helper to derive drug costs from pack price and dosing.
bim_costs_ae() — helper to compute adverse event costs from rates.
bim_model() — assembles and runs the complete budget impact model.
bim_payer(), bim_payer_default(), bim_payer_nhs(), bim_payer_cadth(), bim_payer_us_commercial() — payer perspective tools.

Show all changes in 0.1.0Hide the rest of the changes in 0.1.0

bim_sensitivity_spec() — specify DSA parameter ranges.
bim_run_dsa() — run deterministic sensitivity analysis.
bim_extract() — extract tidy results from a model.
bim_table() — formatted budget impact summary table.
bim_report() — generate a text or HTML report.
plot.bim_model() — dispatch to "line", "bar", "shares", "tornado".
bim_plot_line(), bim_plot_bar(), bim_plot_shares(), bim_plot_tornado() — individual plot functions.
launch_shiny() — launches the interactive Shiny dashboard.

Data

bim_example — illustrative Disease X BIM inputs for vignettes and testing.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("htaBIM", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("heorlytics/htaBIM")

Development version from heorlytics/htaBIM. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-htabim

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-htaBIM

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-htaBIM

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
