To investigate validity evidence for a simulator-based test in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). The test consisted of three modules on the RobotiX Mentor VR-simulator: and . Validity evidence was investigated by using Messick's framewo...
BACKGROUND: Robotic prostatectomy is a costly new technology, but the costs may be offset by changes in treatment patterns. The net effect of this technology on Medicaid spending has not been assessed.
