Cost-effectiveness Analysis with Influence Diagrams.
BACKGROUND Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is used increasingly in medicine to determine whether the health benefit of an intervention is worth the economic cost. Decision trees, the standard decision modeling technique for non-temporal domains, can only perform CEA for very small problems. OBJECTIVE To develop a method for CEA in problems involving several dozen variables. METHODS We exp...
متن کاملSystem Quality Analysis with Extended Influence Diagrams
Making major changes in enterprise information systems, such as large IT-investments, often have a significant impact on business operations. Moreover, when deliberating which IT-changes to make, the consequences of choosing a certain scenario may be difficult to grasp. One way to ascertain the quality of IT-investment decisions is through the use of methods from decision theory. This paper pro...
متن کاملInfluence Diagrams Representation and Analysis of Medical Decision Problems with Influence Diagrams
Influence diagrams are a powerful graphic representation for decision models, complementary to decision trees. Influence diagrams and decision trees are different graphic representations for the same underlying mathematical model and operations. This article describes the elements of an influence diagram, and shows several familiar decision problems represented as decision trees and as influenc...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness analysis with risk aversion.
This paper discusses why, in a medical context, the standard assumption of a risk-neutral social planner is inappropriate and develops a framework for conducting cost-effectiveness (CE) analysis when social planners are risk-averse. This framework demonstrates that if new medical interventions are variance increasing (decreasing), the risk-neutral approach will approve (reject) projects that sh...
متن کاملCost-Effectiveness Analysis
CEA is a tool that has seen increasing use in recent decades as decision makers at all levels of health care provision seek to value alternative interventions (or programs, tests, or treatments). Although CEAs can be complex, and are often described using somewhat arcane terminology, the concept at the core of any CEA is fairly simple: to combine the net cost of a given intervention and its out...
