Clinically validated, cost-effective algorithms for the use of NT-proBNP testing exist.
KnowMyMeds enables healthcare practitioners to perform clinically validated, cost-effective medication review for high-risk patients, including "dual eligibles" and the chronically ill, to reduce their drug-related hospitalizations and re-admissions.
We focused specifically on the case of a cost function that is inspired by a previously experimentally validated cost-benefit model [ 25].
The model has previously undergone peer-review [ 11, 12] and health technology assessments [ 31] and in terms of structure is very similar to a previously developed and validated cost-effectiveness model [ 32, 33].
But in a statement the Ministry of Defence confirmed that it's now "reviewing all programmes, including elements of the carrier strike programme, to validate costs and ensure risks are properly managed".
We recommend validating costs and collecting better epidemiological data for diabetic foot disease in Peru.
Resource utilisation will be converted to costs using nationally validated unit costs, for staff time [ 13], and information from local financial managers for expenditure on travel and consumable items.
But the payoff was equally grand: Heston's Oscar-winning performance and a hefty box-office gross validated the costs of operating on a vast canvas.
At the same time, we cannot allow evidence to become a de facto barrier to innovation by mandating that the only approaches worth supporting and growing are those that have been validated through cost-prohibitive scientific evaluations.
AM validated the cost-effectiveness model and contributed to the drafting of the manuscript.
More recently, a number of human genetics studies have validated the cost-effectiveness, labour-efficiency and reliability of using DNA pools in GWAS [ 37- 39].
