The what-if analyses were checked for an internal medicine ward; results are given in Table 2. First, we applied the model with historical bed utilization data for 2005.
In particular, MEP carried out the horizon scanning, BW was responsible for the drug utilization data modelling, MP participated in the statistical analyses, NW, PH and MK participated as pharmacotherapeutic experts in oncology, cardiovascular medicine and infectious diseases, respectively.
One of the strong points of the model is the use of historical utilization data rather than available beds.
The average costs for physician visits per acute asthma episode were estimated to range from $31.72 [ 34] in an economic modeling study using prospectively collected resource utilization data (9/1/94 to 8/31/95) from hospital emergency department visitors to $31.91 in the economic analysis by Seung and Mittmann [ 42].
Having validated the ancestral core models using a subset of experimentally determined carbon source utilization data, we examined the predictions of each model for a wider variety of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, iron, and sulfur source utilization phenotypes.
A systematic literature search and review identified potential clinical studies and quality of life (QoL) and resource utilization data to populate the model.
The model was based on costing and resource utilization data received from participating Ontario PHUs, and standardized for populations of 100,000 (small), 500,000 (medium), and 1,000,000 (large).
Additionally, a cost analysis of the health coaching intervention will examine utilization data and develop predictive models of cardiovascular events prevented and cost savings.
The Cloudlets randomly generate utilization data every 5 minutes based on a stochastic model [3].
Cost and utilization data will be analyzed through cost-predictive models.
