Dear EPI-213 Students,
Here is the agenda for today’s online class.
1. Questions on Markov HW
2. Two tools which may come in handy for your current or future CEA work
· Tree for Diagnostic tests
· Tool to convert lifetime to annual risk
3. Assessing disparate cost data: Example of a qualitative assessment of medical costs for treating PTSD.
4. Instant CEA: The cost-effectiveness of Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator for patients with advanced heart failure. We will build a CEA together step-by-step.
5. Pop ‘quiz’ (not graded) on key concepts we have covered in the course.
I have never tried to teach interactively using Zoom before, so this is an experiment. Given the coronavirus situation, it is one that we will probably need to get good at. See you later!
