Panel discussion on the application of MCDA tools

Prioritization in healthcare is particularly sensitive to subjective biases and data asymmetry. Yet making data-based and objective decisions are critical to optimizing long term individual and societal benefit. Multi-Criteria-Decision-Making-Analysis (MCDA) provides shared processes, structure, and language to enable this. This panel presented and discussed three examples of MCDA application to health technology assessment, national healthcare strategy and balancing the priorities of providers and customers.
