Introduction to Risk Analysis in Healthcare Farrokh Alemi Ph.D. Professor of Health Administration and Policy College of Health and Human Services, George Mason University 4400 University Drive, Fairfax, Virginia 22030 703 993 1929 [email protected] Scope of Topic From introduction to probability to probabilistic risk analysis Subjective probability assessment Conditional likelihood ratios Causal modeling Bayesian networks Time to the event assessment Tools you can use at work Logical reasoning Not More of the Usual Teach by application Continuous distributions not covered Focus on contingency tables Focus on Modeling Rules of probability Causes and effects Model complex tasks Estimated probabilities Check assumptions Ask “what if” questions Other Books Feldman RM, Valdez-Flores C.
