Uncovering the True Cost of Healthcare (Workshop Executive Summary)

IVI’s Patient-Centered Economic Impacts initiative highlights a critical gap in healthcare research: the financial, time, and life burdens borne by patients and caregivers remain largely unmeasured. Through a six-part workshop series and learning reports, this work offers a roadmap for better capturing these impacts—informing more patient-centered research, funding decisions, and healthcare systems that reflect real-world experiences.
