On the second August episode of JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors discuss a paper from the August issue of JHLT, entitled “A modular simulation framework for organ allocation.”The episode is hosted by Digital Media Editor Erika Lease, MD, FCCP, a transplant pulmonologist from the University of Washington.
The guests for this episode are first author Johnie Rose, MD, PhD, of the Center for Community Health Integration at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, and lead author Maryam Valapour, MD, MPP, of the Department of Pulmonary Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic.
In the episode, Drs. Rose and Valapour share the findings from their study, and tackle questions about the limitations of simulation models, what makes their COMET model different from past Simulation Allocation Models (SAMs), and why they made the project open-source.
