Health Economics and Outcomes Research Conference

Virtual Conference | On demand

Price: Members-in-Training $39; Members $89; Nonmembers $129

Health economic evaluation data and patient-reported outcome measurements are necessary to translate research into viable treatment options. Will your data be meaningful to industry, to payers, to regulators? Considering these factors early in the research design will set you up for success. Learn the fundamentals and how to apply them now.

After attending this conference, participants will be able to:

• Discuss the fundamental principles of health economic (HE) evaluation and the measurement of patient-reported outcomes (PROMs)
• Explain the results of HE evaluations and PROMs published in peer-reviewed literature
• Identify a well-formulated HEOR research question and the data needed to answer it
• Describe the design and execution of several HE evaluation and PROMs research projects
• Summarize how patients can contribute to the research design process


*Certificate available in ARVOLearn upon completion of the on-demand conference.
