amount importance within the healthcare industry with a view to using stat
istics for the benefit of patients.\n \;\nTopic: Model-informed decisi
on support for planning and execution of clinical trials.\nSuresh Ankoleka
r\, Cytel\nThe planning and execution of clinical trials involve several d
ecisions. What should be the target duration for the trial? What should be
the enrolment levels and limits per regions/countries? How many enrolment
sites per regions/countries? When do we open/close the sites? When do we
plan the interim analyses? How do we optimise the enrolment plan? How do w
e optimise the drug supply? How do we re-optimise at interim stages? These
are hard questions that are often addressed rather arbitrarily using ordi
nary spreadsheets. Decision-makers need to look beyond the averages and qu
antify uncertainty to be able to manage it. In this talk we will focus on
statistical models to support enrolment planning. We will also talk about
core simulation models used to optimise the drug supply. The emphasis will
be on the simplicity of the models that can be easily implemented\, even
in spreadsheets.\n\nTopic: Recruitment modelling on in flight studies.\nKi
rstie McKay\, Covance\nHow modelling is used in Covance to support study t
eams make patient and study delivery decision on in flight studies with ca
se study examples. \; How do we address recruitment questions such as:
\n·\; \;  \;  \; Assessing and comparing site recruitmen
t performance?\n·\; \;  \;  \; If recruitment is not on
track\, what can we do?\n·\; \;  \;  \; What is the best
way to identify sites to focus our attention on for recruitment? \;\n
·\; \;  \;  \; Once a study is underway and real recruit
ment data is available how do we assess if timelines are on track or that&
nbsp\;  \;specific study requirements may be met (target patient subgr
oup requirement)? \; \;\nAlongside patient recruitment we need to
monitor and assess when an endpoint study may complete:\n·\; \;
 \;  \;  \;What if a patient is only assessed for endpoint onc
e every 6 months &ndash\; how do we assess if we&rsquo\;re tracking as exp
ected? \;\n·\; \;  \;  \;  \;Or what if the endp
oints are not tracking as expected how do we use the observed endpoint dat
a to re-forecast the study end date?\n\nTopic: Outpatient capacity plannin
g tool for an NHS Hospital Trust.\nDavid Worthington\, Lancaster Universit
y\nThe NHS has a maximum waiting time target from referral to treatment (R
TT) of 18 weeks\, and hospital trusts that do not meet this target can fac
e financial penalties. Hospital trusts that fear that they are in danger o
f exceeding this target for some of their patients typically review their
outpatient and inpatient capacities for the coming months in order to deci
de whether extra capacity is needed\, and if so where it is needed.\nImpor
tant factors to consider in undertaking this exercise are the numbers and
types of appointments that patients need between referral and treatment\,
the numbers of patients currently partway through their pathway\, the numb
ers of new referrals expected to arrive and the capacities of the various
clinics to see patients. And if current capacities do not seem sufficient
to meet the target\, what revised capacities are required?\nThis talk will
describe work undertaken to develop a capacity planning tool for a Hospit
al Trust. It is a spreadsheet-based &lsquo\;what if &hellip\;. ?&rsquo\; m
odel which first applies simple stocks and flows principles to calculate c
linic throughputs\, from which future patient waiting times can then be es
timated. \;\n \;\n\n \;\n\n\n \;\n\n \;\n
