Engaging stakeholders in the use of an interactive simulation tool to support decision-making about the implementation of colorectal cancer screening interventions

Meghan. C. C. O'Leary, Lich, K. H., Mayorga, M. E. E., Hicklin, K., Davis, M. M. M., Brenner, A. T. T., … Wheeler, S. B. B. (2023, May 6). CANCER CAUSES & CONTROL, Vol. 5.

By: . Meghan. C. C. O'Leary, K. Lich *, M. Mayorga n , K. Hicklin*, M. Davis *, A. Brenner *, D. Reuland *, S. Birken *, S. Wheeler *

author keywords: Decision-making; Simulation; Implementation; Evidence-based intervention; Colorectal cancer screening
TL;DR: To increase the tool’s utility, providing detailed guidance on how to implement the selected EBIs, and the extent to which users can expect similar CRC screening gains in their contexts, should be prioritized. (via Semantic Scholar)

MeSH headings : Aged; Colorectal Neoplasms / diagnosis; Colorectal Neoplasms / therapy; Computer Simulation; Cost Savings / statistics & numerical data; Early Detection of Cancer / economics; Early Detection of Cancer / statistics & numerical data; Female; Humans; Insurance, Health / economics; Insurance, Health / statistics & numerical data; Male; Mass Screening / economics; Medicaid / economics; Medicaid / statistics & numerical data; Medicare / economics; Medicare / statistics & numerical data; Middle Aged; North Carolina; Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; United States
TL;DR: Estimated cost savings - balancing increased CRC screening/testing costs against decreased cancer treatment costs - are approximately $30’M and $970 M for Medicaid expansion and Medicare-for-all scenarios, respectively, compared to status quo. (via Semantic Scholar)

Mailed FIT (fecal immunochemical test), navigation or patient reminders? Using microsimulation to inform selection of interventions to increase colorectal cancer screening in Medicaid enrollees

PREVENTIVE MEDICINE, 129.

By: M. Davis *, S. Nambiar n , M. Mayorga n , E. Sullivan *, K. Hicklin*, . Meghan C. O'Leary *, K. Dillon *, K. Lich * ...

Contributors: M. Davis *, S. Nambiar n , M. Mayorga n , E. Sullivan *, K. Hicklin*, . M.C. O'Leary, K. Dillon *, K. Hassmiller Lich * ...

author keywords: Colorectal cancer; Simulation; Screening; Cancer prevention & control; Disparities; Intervention selection; Implementation; Medicaid
MeSH headings : Colorectal Neoplasms / diagnosis; Computer Simulation; Cost-Benefit Analysis; Early Detection of Cancer / statistics & numerical data; Female; Humans; Immunohistochemistry; Male; Mass Screening / economics; Mass Screening / statistics & numerical data; Medicaid / statistics & numerical data; Middle Aged; Occult Blood; Oregon; Patient Navigation / statistics & numerical data; Postal Service; Reminder Systems / statistics & numerical data; United States
TL;DR: To approach national CRC screening targets, health system stakeholders are encouraged to implement Mailed FIT with or without Navigation and Reminders, and to approach national screening targets if stakeholders were willing to pay $230 or less per additional year up-to-date.

Simulation model of the relationship between cesarean section rates and labor duration

Health Care Management Science, 22(4), 635–657.

By: K. Hicklin*, J. Ivy n, J. Wilson n, F. Cobb Payton  n, M. Viswanathan * & E. Myers *

author keywords: Medical decision making; Mode of delivery; Birth; Simulation; Dystocia; Percentile matching
MeSH headings : Cesarean Section / statistics & numerical data; Clinical Decision Rules; Computer Simulation; Decision Trees; Female; Humans; Labor, Obstetric; Pregnancy; Stochastic Processes; Time Factors; United States
TL;DR: Two stochastic simulation models of the delivery process for women in labor are developed and it is concluded that for singleton births by nulliparous women with no prior complications, labor duration longer than two hours should be allowed in each dilation state. (via Semantic Scholar)
