Decision Science Core Facility
Getting Started
Request a consultation by emailing Associate Director Viola Leal at DecisionScience@mdanderson.org or leaving a message at 713-792-5891.
Initial consultations usually consist of a brief meeting with the core directors to discuss the investigator's needs. A cost estimate and broad timeline are developed. If both parties agree, a start date is set and services are billed in iLab monthly.
Impact
The Decision Support Lab creates a range of tools to support patients and health care providers in medical decision making. We publish on the development, evaluation, and dissemination of our tools. Go to the About page for selected citations that reflect work done in specific cancers such as breast cancer, as well as cross-cutting themes such as financial toxicity and user centered design of decision support tools. Go to the Resources page to see examples of the tools created.
