Post-Conference presentation at the Predictive Modeling Summit held in Washington DC.
This talk focuses on applying behavioral economic principles to devise behavioral interventions and simulating such behavioral interventions using predictive modeling and agent-based simulation tools to provide managed care professionals and healthcare policy makers with a unique set of tools and techniques to address some of the critical issues of user adoption and controlling healthcare costs. In this talk, I examine the basic principles of behavioral economics, how it can be applied to devise behavioral interventions in the managed care area, and how to develop simulation models to understand the implications before testing and rolling out these interventions.
