Economic evaluations of health system strengthening activities in low-income and middle-income country settings: a methodological systematic review https://t.co/9ydPMAutUs

[Nathaniel Hendrix @NDHendrix]

I've just published my first systematic review! 🤓

Cost-effectiveness analysis is usually conducted on disease-specific treatments & its methods are well-established. But how have authors applied these methods to building health system capacity?

Interesting research from @IMegiddo and co-authors looking at economic evaluations that have been carried out on health system strengthening activities in LMICs

[Strathclyde Department of Management Science @StrathManSci]

Interesting paper from Euan Barlow, @mersenne524287, @IMegiddo and @arcolson @StrathManSci looks at the effectiveness of pricing strategies for subscription payments for new antibiotics @StrathclydeOA

Care homes reliant on agency staff more than twice as likely to spread COVID-19, study confirms @IMegiddo @StrathManSci https://t.co/IFna0Fs96R

[Itamar Megiddo @IMegiddo]

In this modelling study led by @LeKNNguyen1, we explore the impact of bank/agency staff working across care homes on the spread of Covid-19 in these care homes: implications of characteristics of these heterogenous care homes and what interventions work. @PLOSCompBiol

[Strathclyde Department of Management Science @StrathManSci]

An interesting paper published in PLOS Computational Biology by @StrathManSci colleagues @LeKNNguyen1, @IMegiddo and Susan Howick. Investigates the spread of Covid-19 in and between care homes when staff are being shared @StrathclydeOA
