A new software application, the multiattribute outcomes evaluator (MOE), simplifies building preference-weighted quality of life instruments using multiattribute utility (MAU) methods. This tool aids researchers in assessing treatment cost-effectiveness and patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Medical Informatics
  • Decision Science

Background:

  • Quality of life instruments are crucial for evaluating healthcare interventions.
  • Multiattribute Utility (MAU) methods provide a framework for assessing preferences but can be complex to implement.
  • Physician investigators require accessible tools for constructing these instruments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a software application, "multiattribute outcomes evaluator" (MOE), to simplify the creation of preference-weighted quality of life instruments.
  • To enhance the accessibility of MAU methods for physician investigators.
  • To support the development of disease-specific instruments for cost-effectiveness analysis and individual decision-making.

Main Methods:

  • The MOE application was developed using Visual Basic and a Microsoft Access database.

  • It supports data storage for groups or individuals.
  • Valuations of health states can be performed using standard gambles and rating scale methods, with solutions for additive or multiplicative utility independence models.

    • Main Results:

    • Initial testing of the algorithms within the MOE application has yielded successful results.
    • The software demonstrates feasibility for its intended applications.

    Conclusions:

    • The MOE software offers a user-friendly approach to multiattribute utility (MAU) modeling.
    • It is anticipated to be a valuable tool for health services researchers.
    • Facilitates the creation of robust quality of life and outcomes measures.
