Members of Division of Geriatrics Publish Article in Medical Care

Members of the Division of Geriatrics published a new article in Medical Care, entitled, "A Novel Metric for Developing Easy-to-Use and Accurate Clinical Prediction Models:  The Time-Cost Information Criterion".  Sei Lee, MD, MAS, Alex Smith, MD, MPH, MS, Grisell Ramirez-Diaz, Ken Covinsky, MD, MPH, Siqi Gan, Catherine Chen, MD, and John Boscardin, MD developed a new metric (the time-cost information criterion) to help develop models that are easier for busy clinicians to use.  They showed that this metric leads to models that are just as accurate and easier to use as models developed using traditional metrics.
