Pharmacoeconomics--an aid to better decision-making.
OBJECTIVES The first aim of this workshop was to define pharmacoeconomic concepts and terminology. Pharmacoeconomics can be defined as the branch of economics that uses cost-benefit, cost-effectiveness, cost-minimization, cost-of-illness and cost-utility analyses to compare pharmaceutical products and treatment strategies. Economic evaluations provide healthcare decision-makers with valuable in...
متن کاملIntroduction to Decision-Theoretic Networks for Pharmacoeconomics
Cost-effectiveness evaluations or budget impact analysis represent a typical example of decision analysis problems, as they are performed for decision making regarding reimbursement of drugs or health care budget allocation under uncertainty. In contrast to traditional tools for decision making such as regression equations, decision trees and Markov models, Bayesian Networks and Influence Diagr...
متن کاملAn Evolutionary Approach to Group Decision Making
We propose modeling Group Support System (GSS) search tasks with Genetic Algorithms. Using explicit mathematical models for Genetic Algorithms (GAs), we show how to estimate the underlying GA parameters from an observed GSS solution path. Once these parameters are estimated, they may be related to GSS variables such as group composition and membership, leadership presence, the specific GSS tool...
متن کاملOperational Research Approach to Decision Making
The decision making (DM) problem is of great practical value in many areas of human activities. Most widely used DM methods are based on probabilistic approaches. The well-known Bayesian theorem for a conditional probability density function (PDF) is a background for such techniques. It is needed due to some uncertainty in many parameters entered in any model which describes the functioning of ...
متن کاملA Logic-based Approach to Decision Making
We propose a novel approach to the well-studied problem of making a finite, ordered sequence of decisions under uncertainty. Most existing work in this area concentrates on graphical representations of decision problems, and requires a complete specification of the problem. Our approach is based on a formal logic, such that the choice of an optimal decision can be treated as a problem of logica...
