Summaries is the seventh and final stop on the hēRo3 Subway. The Summaries page is used to define how health and economic values are aggregated in a model into summary measures that can be used in output displays in hēRo3. A summary simply represents the sum of a set of previously defined values. By definition, every summary in a model is either health summary or an economic summary.
Health summaries that you define can be thought of as possible denominators in a cost-effectiveness ratio, while Economic summaries can be thought of as potential numerators in such a ratio.
