As demand increases for better management of health care costs while still providing the highest levels of care, the landscape is evolving into one assessed on value. All stakeholders – providers, payers, manufacturers, and ultimately patients – are interested in the impact this movement toward value has, including who is making or influencing access decisions and what information and evidence is being used to define value. In this session, you will hear perspectives from multiple stakeholders to better understand the challenges and implications brought by this new focus towards value, and uncover ideas of collaboration to realize smarter health care spending.

Learning Objectives

Review the global landscape of value-based health care decision making; Discuss the challenges facing health care stakeholders as they work to understand this new “value” assessment and what that means for future decisions and patient access; Identify evidence considerations for pharmaceutical research and development plans; Share ideas on stakeholder collaboration for optimal results.
