Aligning Clinical Treatment Strategies with Value and Equity to Improve Health Care Performance
The US continues to rank #1/11 in health care spending and #11/11 in healthcare performance. We consistently pay more for less health. The Goshua Lab fuses state-of-the-art in quantitative decision science with clinical expertise to address this value lost, with a particular focus on rare hematologic-oncologic diseases. Our analytic lens includes both conventional value (i.e., cost-benefit) and equity-informed analyses to inform stakeholders’ decision-making on resource allocation in health care.

Practical impact: Fills gap in the 2019 ASH ITP Guidelines and shows that the theoretical concerns about splenectomy tripartite risks that led to its decreased utilization in the United States across 2000-2020 do not outweigh treatment benefit. In addition, for patients whose values and preferences align with surgery, splenectomy-early strategies are the cost-effective strategies.
