2. This Mornings Session Can Clinical Trials really answer all relevant questions?
What if the patient is older/younger/sicker/ better/etc. than in the trials?
What if the technology has changed?
What if management strategy has changed?
Can simulation modeling help fill in the gaps?
3. From the Modelers Side Many decision models in the literature
Single use one off models
More global natural history models designed for wide range of questions
Can decision models inform decisions?
Working with the decision makers to determine
Relevant alternatives and inputs
Relevant outcomes
