It is time for celebration. ESiOR will participate in International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) Annual European Congress in Vienna for the tenth time. ISPOR is a must for everyone interested in pharmacoeconomics and outcomes research. Let’s meet in the congress!
Ongoing regional government reform and social welfare and healthcare (SOTE) reform will increase the importance of Health Services Research (HSR) in Finland. The trend has recently also been visible in ISPOR for HSR and its subarea, Real World Evidence (RWE). Cooperation between various stakeholders has expanded, as well.
Majority of ESiOR’s presentations this year deals with HSR, effectiveness assessment, and benchmarking. Contents include new tools and methods developed by ESiOR, such as setting reasonable effectiveness goals, assessing benefit potential, estimating remaining medical needs, and appropriate risk assessment. Additionally, ESiOR’s register analysis on multiple sclerosis was already nominated for ISPOR poster award.
