New Role for Value Assessment Frameworks in the U.S.
Date: Wednesday, June 6, 2018
Time: 1:45 PM – 2:45 PM EDT
Session ID: 419181
IVI Speaker: Jennifer Bright, Acting Executive Director
Across the healthcare system as stakeholders look to better account for value, different value assessment frameworks are emerging. These frameworks take different approaches but ultimately have the same goal – to quantify and define the value of medicine. With so many different value assessment frameworks, how do we find common ground in the approach to measuring value and accounting for what value means to patients. Panelists will discuss the current landscape of value assessment frameworks, how they are evolving, and what this means for patients’ access to medicines.
