Newswise — Lawrenceville, NJ, USA—September 4, 2018—ISPOR, the professional society for health economics and outcomes research, announced its program and speakers for the upcoming ISPOR Summit 2018, “New Approaches to Value Assessment: Towards More Informed Pricing in Healthcare,” scheduled for October 19, 2018 in Washington, DC, USA. As healthcare pricing, particularly drug pricing, faces greater scrutiny and healthcare costs continue to increase year after year, this Summit will examine various approaches to measuring value and explore how these value assessments could be used in pricing and coverage decisions.
Keynote Address
Mark McClellan, MD, PhD will deliver the keynote address for the Summit. Dr McClellan is director of the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy and former US FDA Commissioner and CMS Administrator. In his keynote, Dr McClellan will provide his perspective on value-based pricing in healthcare.
The Summit will also feature a number of topical sessions, including:
- Current Value Frameworks—What’s New? Representatives from ASCO, ICER, and the Faster Cures/Avalere Patient Perspective Value Framework will discuss recent developments for their approaches in value frameworks, accompanied by a payer perspective on how those and other frameworks are influencing payer deliberations.
- Novel Approaches to Value Assessment, Within the Cost-Effectiveness Framework
This session will highlight recent work in value assessment to stimulate discussion about feasible modifications to cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) offering new perspectives on how and whether CEA can be used to shape value-based pricing decisions.
- Novel Approaches to Value Assessment, Beyond the Cost-Effectiveness Framework
This session will feature recent developments in the use of different approaches to value measurement such as multiple criteria decision analysis, patient preference measures, non-QALY (quality-adjusted life year) measures of benefit.
- Specific Value Assessment Considerations
This session will allow experts in indication-specific pricing, valuation of medical devices, implications of patient heterogeneity, and health system affordability bring forward their viewpoints on specific issues in these specialized areas.
- Practical Next Steps in Improving Value Measurement and Use
In this final session of the Summit, a multistakeholder panel will discuss how improvements in measuring treatment value and using it in decision making can be carried forward in research, policy, pricing, utilization management, and practice guidelines.
