2024 Methods Summit
The Future of Patient-Centered Health Technology Assessment
March 14, 2024 - Washington, DC
At the Center’s 5th Annual Methods Summit, we delved into the forefront of patient-centered Health Technology Assessment (HTA) to explore its future direction.
The Summit aimed to bridge the gap between theory and practice by exploring actionable steps that stakeholders can take to implement patient-centered HTA effectively. Attendees had the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions, explore patient-focused methodologies, network with thought leaders, and contribute to shaping the future landscape of HTA.
This was a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of patient-centered health technology assessment and play a vital role in advancing research, policy, and practice.

Real option value calculates the benefit patients and caregivers receive from treatments that extend life, giving patients the chance to benefit from future treatment advances. Is this new method ready to be put into practice and what would it mean for people with life threatening conditions?
- Moderator: Rick Chapman, PhD, Innovation and Value Initiative
- Zubair Ansari, Cancer Support Community
- Meng Li, PhD, Center for the Evaluation of Value and Risk in Health (CEVR), Tufts Medical Center
- Jon Campbell, PhD, National Pharmaceutical Council
In 2023, IVI and EveryLife Foundation convened a PCORI-funded project on methods to identify common patient-centered outcomes across rare diseases. In this robust discussion, we will ask what makes patient-centered HTA for rare disease different and how can that inform HTA in general?
- Moderator: Ilisa Halpern Paul, MPP, Venable
- Dionne Stalling, Rare and Black
- Simu Thomas, PhD, Alexion Pharmaceuticals
- Annie Kennedy, EveryLife Foundation for Rare Diseases
This fireside chat will identify opportunities to make patient-centered HTA a reality.
