Downstream effects are typically evaluated given current technology and current practice patterns rather than for technology and practice patterns that will be available at the time when downstream effects accrue. Where a relatively short time horizon can be expected to capture all relevant...

Background: Drug plan decision makers need accurate financial impact projections before the implementation of new drug policy initiatives. Tools for such projections need to have small margins of error and be based on methodology that is easy to communicate to stakeholders. Ad hoc methods...

Background: An AIDS vaccine could play a very significant role in reversing the HIV pandemic, saving millions of lives. For a vaccine to have such an impact, it must be widely available and adopted and taken up rapidly in the countries most affected. A demand-forecasting model provides a...

The design of decision-analytic models for cost-effectiveness analysis has been the subject of discussion. The current work addresses this issue by noting that, when time is to be explicitly modelled, we need to represent phenomena occurring in continuous time. Models evaluated in continuous...

Background:Background: Screening and vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) can protect against cervical cancer. Neither alone can provide 100% protection. Consequently it raises the important question about the most efficient combination of screening at specified time intervals and...
