Generating evidence is only part of the challenge. The real opportunity is ensuring that evidence is trusted, actionable, and translated into better healthcare decisions.

Kelly Saldaña, Executive Director of the ISPOR Institute for Healthcare Transformation, discusses how health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) can better align with the needs of policymakers, providers, and patients. She explores the importance of implementation science, stakeholder collaboration, patient engagement, and the growing role of AI in transforming healthcare decision-making.

The conversation also examines how organizations can bridge the gap between research and real-world impact, build trust in evidence, and create more effective, equitable healthcare systems.
