An Online Video Course on Clarifying Discussions of Clinical Utility

This course summarizes PowerPoint seminars I've given in the first half of 2014 at several conferences and workshops.   Our peer-reviewed publication on the framework, Frueh & Quinn, 2014, appeared in July 2014, see here.

The thesis is that current simple frameworks for assessing diagnostic tests - like "analytical validity, clinical validity, clinical utility" are "real" in that they certainly do reflect actual different aspects of the test, but those six words are not modular enough to guide assessment.   That is, one has to bring a lot of content knowledge to those several words to do a technology assessment based on them.

Videos and PowerPoint downloads are available after the break.






Before the video, let me mention, the plain old fashioned PowerPoint deck I presented at a Baltimore conference in April 2014, with no audio, is  here .

The webinar version follows.

You can find all four videos together at this YouTube Channel:


These online video talks are not perfect -- I'd like to update them with better "performances" someday if time permits.   

I provide links to the individual videos at Youtube at the bottom of this blog, and to the individual (plain) PowerPoints that I've narrated.




VIDEO ONE:  FRAMEWORK (22 minutes)



VIDEO TWO:  DEEP DIVE ON CLINICAL VALIDITY (10 minutes)

VIDEO THREE: DEEP DIVE ON CLINICAL UTILITY (8 minutes)



VIDEO FOUR: CASE STUDIES (23 minutes)

If you would like to save the above the PowerPoint decks from Google Drive, click the link, then click the small "down arrow" at upper left of the Google Drive page.  

 For larger PPT files, even when the deck does not display a thumbnail picture in your browser, you can still click the small left corner "down arrow" to download it.


Some notes on how I did this...here.
