| '''Dr. David M. Eddy''' is an award-winning physician, mathematician, researcher, writer and speaker. He coined the term "]" and made significant advances in the theory and applications of evidence-based guidelines. Eddy is the founder and Chief Medical Officer Emeritus of Archimedes, Inc., a health care modeling organization. | |||
| Eddy developed a model for medical problems that combines ], ], and ] data with advanced ] and computing methods to create a ] that can analyze and answer real-world ] questions. ], founding editor of ], called Eddy, “One of the towering figures in health care today.” The ] of London referred to Eddy as, “One of the most respected minds in medicine.” ], professor of Public and Private Management, Emeritus, at ] and former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Systems Analysis, described Eddy as a “national treasure.” | |||
| Among Eddy’s awards are the ] for the best contribution to ] and ] and the Distinguished Achievement Award from the ] (CDC) and the Institute for Quality in Laboratory Medicine. In 1990, he was named “One of the Ten Most Important People in Managed Care” by Managed Healthcare Magazine. | |||
| ==Career== | |||
| David Eddy, MD, PhD, has been an advocate of evidence-based decision making in medicine for more than 25 years. Trained as a ], he went on to study mathematics with the goal of applying a structured, analytical approach to the practice of ]. He is one of the pioneers of medical ], which uses math tools, computers, and biological and medical data to help improve health care decision-making. His applications combine predictive modeling and decision support in order to spot at-risk patients and potentially help them avoid ], resulting in both better health and cost savings. Savings also can be realized through the ability of these applications to indentify less expensive ] options. | |||
| Since 1993, Eddy has worked with Leonard Schlessinger, PhD, to create the Archimedes model, a ] health care model that enables individuals and organizations to ask questions, supply data, and learn what the outcomes of various decisions would be. Such modeling is now common in ], ], ], and ], but it had not been used to a great degree in health care due to the complexities involved in modeling ]. The Archimedes model is now being used by ]s, ], and ] to address issues relating to new tests and treatments, ], performance, incentives, and financing. It is also being applied to guide individual patient care. Eddy has stated, “We may be breaking ground in medicine, but we’re not breaking ground in modeling. Models will play a larger and larger role in medicine. We’ve now shown that it’s possible.” | |||
| ==Biography== | |||
| Dr. David Eddy was born in ] and raised in ]. He currently resides with his wife in ]. | |||
| He received a BA in History from ] in 1964, an MD from the in 1968, and a PhD in Engineering-Economic Systems (Operations Research/Management Science) from ] in 1978. | |||
| In addition to his work with Archimedes, Inc., Eddy has been a Senior Advisor for ]; Chief Scientist for ]'s Technology Evaluation and Coverage (TEC) Program; Director at the ] (WHO) Collaborating Center for Research in Cancer Policy; and a professor of Health Policy and Management at ]. | |||
| Eddy has served on the board of directors of ] and the ], as well as on ]'s National Board of Mathematics, the World Health Organization’s Expert Advisory Panel on Cancer, and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Medical Advisory Panel. | |||
