A template model module, tools to help find model modules derived from this template and a programming syntax to use these modules in health economic analyses. These elements are the foundation for a prototype software framework for developing living and transferable models and using those models in reproducible health economic analyses. The software framework is extended by other R libraries. For detailed documentation about the framework and how to use it visit https://www.ready4-dev.com/. For a background to the methodological issues that the framework is attempting to help solve, see Hamilton et al. (2024) https://doi.org/10.1007/s40273-024-01378-8.

To install a development version of this software, run the following commands in your R console:

utils::install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("ready4-dev/ready4")
