Slide 1
Using Simulation and Decision Modeling to Inform Decision Making
AHRQ Annual Meeting
Sept. 8, 2008
Slide 2
This Morning's Session
- Can Clinical Trials really answer all relevant questions?
- What if the patient is older/younger/sicker/ better/etc. than in the trials?
- What if the technology has changed?
- What if management strategy has changed?
- Can simulation modeling help fill in the gaps?
Slide 3
From the Modeler's Side
- Many decision models in the literature:
- Single use "one off" models
- More global natural history models designed for wide range of questions
- Can decision models inform decisions?
- Working with the decision makers to determine:
- Relevant alternatives and inputs
- Relevant outcomes
- Case study today of working with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) to examine Cancer Screening
