Free Web Seminar – Healthcare Modeling – Archimedes
Online Seminar on Cost Effectiveness Analysis of Personalized Medicine by Archimedes, Healthcare Modeling Company.
Archimedes, a Healthcare Modeling Company is organizing an online seminar (webinar) on Cost Effectiveness Analysis of Personalized Medicine on September 22nd (Tuesday), 2009 from 2 PM to 3 PM. The underlying premise of personalized medicine is the use of genetic information to ensure that new and existing medical interventions are used more effectively and more safely. This will help to deliver medications to the right patient, at the right dose, at the right time while minimizing side effects. However, as a new healthcare technology, it is important to quantify the impact of genetic testing/screening on both clinical and economic outcomes and to demonstrate the overall benefit of personalized medicine in comparison to standard treatment.
In this webinar, Peter Alperin, M.D., Medical Director at Archimedes, Inc., will explain the Archimedes Model - a scientifically and clinically validated mathematical model that has been in development for over 15 years, and how to use the Archimedes Model to evaluate cost-effectiveness of genetic testing/screening.
Who can attend?
- Individuals in Health Economics and Outcomes Research Teams of Biotechnology organizations, Pharmaceutical companies and Medical Device manufacturers.
- Individuals in Marketing and Product Brand Teams of Biotechnology organizations, Pharmaceutical companies and Medical Device manufacturers.
About the Speaker:
Peter Alperin, MD is Medical Director at Archimedes. His primary responsibilities include managing client engagements as well as ensuring that the Model grows to include the most relevant topics challenging healthcare. He also is intimately involved in Archimedes product development. In his role he ensures that the model is focused on the key aspects of a client’s questions and serves as a direct link between the client and the Archimedes scientific staff. Peter has over 14 years of healthcare experience including work in software development and informatics. He still sees patients and is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCSF. Peter has a BA in Biochemistry from UC Berkeley, where he graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa. He received his MD degree from SouthwesternMedical School where he was an AOA graduate.
