ECTU - UMass Medical School, Boston 10.55-11.00 Welcome Professor John Norrie, Professor of Medical Statistics and Trial Methodology, Director of Edinburgh Clinical Trials Unit and Co-Head of Centre for Population Health Sciences, Usher Institute. Presentations 11.00-11.35 Professor Arlene Ash Professor and Chief, Division of Biostatistics and Health Services Research Department of Quantitative Health Sciences, University of Massachusetts Medical School "Predicting Risk in Health Care" This presentation will provide an overview of what we have learned, since the mid-1980s, about building predictive models for US health care delivery programs, including Medicare (covering most people over age 65 and some younger people with disabilities) and Medicaid (joint Federal-state partnerships, mainly financing care for low-income people). Our payment models are designed to provide health plans with the resources needed to care for the specific panel of individuals they enroll: more for those with complex medical and/or social needs and less for those with low levels of expected need. We are also currently exploring risk adjustment for quality measures, for example, a measure that seeks to identify and reward plans that reduce (unnecessarily) high rates of Emergency Department visits. 11.35-11.45 Discussion 11.45-12.20 Professor Catarina Kiefe Founding Chair, Dept of Quantitative Health Sciences; Inaugural Melvin S. and Sandra L. Cutler Chair in Biomedical Research; Professor Quantitative Health Sciences and Medicine. Department of Quantitative Health Sciences, University of Massachusetts Medical School "Translational research and “precision medicine”: crossing disciplinary boundaries" This presentation will start with considerations about the scientific method, proceed towards trying to define translational science and “precision medicine” (the latest “buzzword” on this side of the Atlantic). Then give specific data-driven examples of the different kinds of translational science, focusing on what we call the implementation science end of the spectrum, based on work from our group and that of others. 12.20- 12.30 Discussion 12.30 Close Please register your interest at ectu@ed.ac.uk – thank you Jun 28 2018 10.45 - 12.30 ECTU - UMass Medical School, Boston Join us to hear from visiting speakers Professors Arlene Ash and Catarina Kiefe, University of Massachusetts Medical SChool Auditorium B, Chancellors Building, Little France, Edinburgh
