The aim of the course is to instil greater confidence in Oncology forecasting by providing an in-depth understanding of Oncology specific forecasting topics. Following this course you will be able to:
- Understand Oncology specific forecasting considerations, and how these can be factored into your forecasts
- Evaluate the pros and cons of a patient flow-based forecasting methodology, and compare to other approaches
- Develop an Oncology forecast, taking into consideration the different approaches applicable throughout an Oncology forecast
- Critically assess existing Oncology forecasts
What will be covered:
This course builds upon the best practice forecast principles covered in our Fundamentals of Forecasting training course, delving more in-depth in the areas specific to Oncology. We would encourage you to enroll on the Fundamentals course first to ensure a comprehensive understanding of these key principles.
Key Oncology topics covered in this training include:
- How Oncology forecasts differ from other forecasts
- Why a patient flow methodology is more appropriate
- Key Terminology used in Oncology and Oncology Forecasting
- How to include Oncology specific considerations such as biomarkers and patient-specific therapies, product restrictions, length of therapy, progression through lines/stages, weight/BSA-based conversion, product vs regimens and much more
- When a cross-sectional methodology may be applicable
Once purchased, you will have access to this training course for 3 months.
How will it be covered:
The training is brought to life using engaging visuals, real-life examples, and a do-it-yourself case study.
