Summary
Transparency in decision modelling requires a clearer definition. This article explores various forms of transparency, stakeholder roles, and implementation strategies for better understanding and adoption in health technology assessment.
Area of Science:
- Health Economics
- Decision Science
- Health Technology Assessment
Background:
- Transparency in decision modelling is increasingly discussed, moving beyond reporting standards to open-source implementations.
- A lack of clear definition hinders the debate on the advantages and disadvantages of greater transparency.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a nuanced understanding of transparency in decision modelling.
- To explore how transparency can be addressed and implemented.
Main Methods:
- Review and summarization of existing discourse on transparency.
- Development of a taxonomy of transparency manifestations (e.g., reporting standards, open-source modelling).
- Mapping of stakeholder roles, incentives, advantages, disadvantages, barriers, and facilitators.
Main Results:
- A taxonomy of transparency manifestations is outlined, including reporting standards, reference models, collaboration, model registration, peer review, and open-source modelling.
- The roles and incentives of various stakeholders (industry, research, publishers, decision-makers) are mapped.
- Anticipated advantages, disadvantages, barriers, and facilitators for each manifestation are discussed concerning stakeholders and practical issues.
Conclusions:
- A clear understanding of 'what', 'why', 'who', and 'how' for each transparency manifestation is crucial for community adoption.
- Current initiatives demonstrate ongoing efforts to improve transparency in decision modelling.
- Addressing issues like intellectual property, legality, standards, and stakeholder engagement is key to realizing transparency objectives.

01:20Decision Making

Decision-making is a fundamental cognitive process that involves evaluating alternatives and selecting among them. This process can range from simple choices, such as deciding what to wear, to complex decisions, like choosing a major in college or a career path. The complexity of the decision often dictates the approach we use, which can be broadly categorized into two types: automatic and controlled decision-making.
Automatic decision-making is fast, intuitive, and relies on gut feelings...

01:09Decision Making: P-value Method
6.8K
The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.

02:18The Bohr Model
80.4K
Following the work of Ernest Rutherford and his colleagues in the early twentieth century, the picture of atoms consisting of tiny dense nuclei surrounded by lighter and even tinier electrons continually moving about the nucleus was well established. This picture was called the planetary model since it pictured the atom as a miniature “solar system” with the electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets orbiting the sun. The simplest atom is hydrogen, consisting of a single proton as the...

02:16Stereotype Content Model
15.4K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...
