Does a dynamic stochastic model optimize follow-up visit intervals to minimize costs for outpatients on warfarin anticoagulation?
A dynamic stochastic model can optimize follow-up intervals for warfarin patients, potentially reducing unnecessary visits for stable patients while improving control for unstable ones.
