ReviewPublication 2018Reflective Multicriteria for Healthcare Decision-Making? The EVIDEM Journey
The authors discuss a framework for mulicriteria decision making for healthcare decision making that was …

This is a systematic review of cost-effectiveness studies reporting cost-per-DALY averted from 2000 through 2015 conducted using the Global Health Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (GHCEA) Registry. Authors summarized descriptive characteristics on study methodology. They analyzed a) the types of costs included, b) study quality and c) the correlation between diseases researched and the burden of disease in different world regions. 479 cost-per-DALY averted studies were published from 2000 through 2015, with studies from Sub-Saharan Africa representing the largest portion…

Studies indicate that combined diet and physical activity promotion programs can prevent type 2 diabetes …
Studies indicate that combined diet and physical activity promotion programs can prevent type 2 diabetes among persons at increased risk. This paper systematically evaluates the evidence on cost, cost-effectiveness, and cost–benefit estimates of diet and physical activity promotion programs. English-language studies from high-income countries that provided data on cost, cost-effectiveness, or cost–benefit ratios of diet and physical activity promotion programs with at least 2 sessions over at least 3 months delivered to persons at increased risk…

Getting the right diagnosis is a key aspect of health care - it provides an explanation of a patient's health problem and informs subsequent health care decisions. The diagnostic process is a complex, collaborative activity that involves clinical reasoning and information gathering to determine a patient's health problem. This report, Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, explains that diagnostic errors-inaccurate or delayed diagnoses-persist throughout all settings of care and continue to harm an unacceptable number of patients.…
