EXPERIENCES OF PHARMACOECONOMICS OVERSEAS: DEVELOPMENTS IN METHODS
Michael Drummond, PhD
, Professor of Health Economics, Centre for Health Economics, University of York, Heslington, York, UK
Biographical Info

The growing use of economic evaluation in decisions about the pricing and reimbursement of pharmaceuticals has led to more scrutiny of methods. This presentation will discuss some of the main issues that have arisen, such as the selection of alternative therapies for comparison with the drug of interest, the role of decision-analytic modelling, the measurement and valuation of health outcomes and the characterization of uncertainty.

EXPERIENCES IN PHARMACOECONOMICS OVERSEAS: POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Suzanne Hill PhD, Scientist, Policy, Access and Rational Use, Medicines Policy and Standards, World Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland.
Biographical Info

A number of countries have developed initiatives to use pharmacoeconomics in decision-making, including health tehnology assessment in Canada and Spain, reimbursement decisions (Australia, The Netherlands and Canada) and comprehensive health care guidance (the UK). In this presentation, the experiences of implementing these policies in two countries (Australia and the UK) and the challenges of balancing considerations such as quality, innovation, drug prices and value for money will be discussed.

13:00-14:00 IMS SYMPOSIUM (ALL ARE INVITED TO ATTEND)  Auditorium
 


IMPLEMENTING PHARMACOECONOMIC GUIDELINES IN ASIA: WILL INCREASING EFFICIENCY HELP CONTAIN COSTS?

Budget constraints and growing public demand for innovative drugs have made the efficient delivery of quality health care a major priority worldwide. As a result, an increasing number of countries have implemented pharmacoeconomic guidelines and requirements.

As Asian health care systems move into an era of budget constraints and rising pharmaceutical costs, many policy makers are looking towards pharmacoeconomic requirements as a cost control solution. But is pharmacoeconomics an effective cost containment strategy?

A panel of global experts will discuss this pressing question. Key opinion leaders from Asia will discuss the anticipated impact of pharmacoeconomic requirements on pharmaceutical spending in the region. Experts from Europe, Australia and Asia will explore the evolution of pharmacoeconomic requirements and discuss their value in containing pharmaceutical spending.
