Introduction: Infectious diarrheal diseases are one of the leading causes of worldwide morbidity and mortality. The incidence of diarrhea is higher in Low-Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), where more than 90% of deaths from diarrheal diseases occur. Diagnostic tests for infectious diarrhea are not readily available in Low-Middle-Income Countries.

This stratification relies on large, growing databases of patient-volunteered information. Both private companies and government bodies incentivize patients to volunteer this genetic information by appealing to the creation of collaborative "patient partnerships" and the concept of empowerment.

Goal: The primary goal of this systematic review is to assess the impact of healthcare information technology (HIT) applications on information sharing within and between healthcare organizations (HCOs) and their associated performance outcomes. This study is motivated by the significant growth in electronic health record adoption and other advanced technologies spurred by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009. Despite this growth, there remains a gap in understanding where HIT adds value and how it affects various performance outcomes, particularly through information sharing in the healthcare sector.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of lung cancer screening (LCS) employing volume-based low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in contrast to the absence of screening, targeting an asymptomatic high-risk population in Greece, leveraging the outcomes derived from the NELSON study, the largest European randomized control trial dedicated to LCS.
Methods: A validated model incorporating a decision tree and an integrated state-transition Markov model was used to simulate the identification, diagnosis, and treatments for a population at high risk of developing lung cancer, from a healthcare payer perspective. Screen-detected lung cancers, costs, life years (LYs), quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) were predicted.
