New publications in health economics and genomics 18th August 2020

Two publications from the last week:

  • Provider preferences for resolving uncertainty and avoiding harms in precision medicine: a discrete choice experiment | link
  • A cost-effectiveness analysis of genomic sequencing in a prospective versus historical cohort of complex pediatric patients | link

I’m happy to share any other publications from this week that I’ve missed – just let me know.
