Congrats to GEECS Affiliate @tara_lavelle and the team @TuftsCEVR on their just published CE of #exome and #genome sequencing. First-line GS may be the most cost-effective strategy for diagnosing infants with suspected genetic conditions. gimjournal.org/article/S1098…

Cost-effectiveness of exome and genome sequencing for children with rare and undiagnosed conditions

This study aimed to estimate the cost-effectiveness of exome sequencing (ES) and genome sequencing (GS) for children.

There is a need for a centralized database of PM Utilization. Our scoping review on the utilization of Precision Medicine with real-world data finds registries and claims data common sources with 2/3rd of cancer studies. @UCSF_TRANSPERS @MDPIOpenAccess mdpi.com/2075-4426/12/4/557

Analyzing Precision Medicine Utilization with Real-World Data: A Scoping Review

Precision medicine (PM), specifically genetic-based testing, is currently used in over 140,000 individual tests to inform the clinical management of disease. Though several databases (e.g., the NIH...

Congrats to @GEECSEcon members, @JeroenPJansen, and @KathrynP_phd on their publication using CEAs to assess health equity impact in underrepresented populations.
Kathryn A Phillips PhD@KathrynP_phd3 Mar 2022
Pleased to publish paper w/ @UCSF_TRANSPERS colleague @JeroenPJansen arguing that cost-effectiveness analyses need to assess health equity impact on subpopulations as interventions can have differential impact that will be missed otherwise link.springer.com/article/10…

Assessments of the Value of New Interventions Should Include Health Equity Impact

PharmacoEconomics - A formal evaluation of the health equity impact of a new intervention is hardly ever performed as part of a health technology assessment to understand its value. This should...
