Genomic testing offers personalised treatment for patients with myeloid blood cancers
Evaluation of Clinical Genomics
Evaluating the costs and benefits of using genomics in health care
This project measured the cost-effectiveness and short-term clinical outcomes of the use of genomics in health care through the four Round 1 Clinical Demonstration Projects.
The initial focus was on health economics but as the project progressed it measured a broader range of outcomes, such as the:
- long term cost to society and impact of diseases
- benefits to patients and their families who receive tailored care.
Project Deliverables
To ensure Queensland is equipped to apply medical genomics to everyday healthcare, a number of capability building projects were funded in Round 1.
Evaluation Framework
- A framework for evaluating clinical genomics
Clinical Demonstration Project Outcomes:
- An evaluation report detailing the four clinical demonstration project outcomes and results from applying the evaluation framework
Project Investigators
Project leaders engage with and draw upon the expertise of partners within universities, research institutes and hospital and health services around Queensland.
