Use of Data in Medical Decisions
A.Y. 2023/2024
Learning objectives
L'insegnamento si propone di offrire agli studenti a) la possibilità di collegare la statistica medica e l'epidemiologia clinica, che supportano l'approccio di EBM - Evidence Based Medicine - all'attività clinica; b) apprendere le potenzialità e le criticità dell'approccio di Real World Evidence; c) mostrare come tali conoscenze possano essere utilizzate per progettare e implementare strategie decisionali basate sulla Teoria delle Decisioni; d) apprendere gli strumenti di comprensione di un approccio integrato che implica l'utilizzo di abilità e competenze diverse in equipe professionali multidisciplinari.
