The 7th Annual Methods Summit was held on March 25, 2026 at the USC Capital Campus in Washington, D.C. The event convened leaders in value research, policy, and patient advocacy to examine how value assessment can better reflect the full spectrum of what matters to patients. Grounded in IVI’s principles of methodological rigor, transparency, equity, and patient-centeredness, the Summit moved beyond traditional cost-effectiveness approaches to explore more inclusive and relevant methods for defining and measuring value.
