I-HDS (Institute for Healthcare Delivery Science) invites you to join its bi-weekly Seminar Series, Tuesday, Oct. 2nd at 2:00pm in the Levy Library, Room 10-70.
Our featured guest will be Bart S. Ferket, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor, ISMMS.
Abstract:
Decision analysis is a quantitative tool configured to choose the method by which the optimal strategy is identified. When applied to health care, the goal is to identify
strategies that maximize the expected value of beneficial outcomes (e.g., revenue, gains in quality of life, etc.), and minimize the expected value of unfavorable outcomes (e.g., deaths, costs, etc.). There may be a trade-off between multiple outcomes: for example extending life expectancy against additional costs. Cost-effectiveness analysis helps decision-makers reconcile spending with maximizing optimal health outcomes. This talk demonstrates how different type of data (literature, observational and experimental) can be used for conducting cost-effectiveness research.
