THIRD PLENARY SESSION
Involving Patients/Citizens in Health Care Decisions
The patient’s perspective is becoming more important in health care policy decisions worldwide. For example, in the UK, the NICE Citizens’ Council provides valuable input on a number of contentious subjects. An example of a recent report from the UK’s NICE Citizens’ Council on the issue: “Should NICE and its advisory bodies take into account the severity of a disease when making decisions? If yes, should the advisory committees: take severity into consideration alongside the cost and clinical effectiveness evidence; or should severity be included in the calculation of the QALY?”. The NICE Citizens’ Council report on this issue is attached: NICE Citizens Council Report on QALYs & Severity of Illness.  In addition, patients, themselves, are becoming more proactive through patient advocacy groups, (e.g. European Patients' Forum) who collectively lobby for patients rights, including equity and access to health care technology in Europe. During this plenary session, a) how views of the general public are incorporated into health care coverage decisions, b) how information from “citizens’ councils” are incorporated into the decision process, and c) the role of patient advocacy groups in health care policy decisions will be presented and debated.

Drawing on NICE’s extensive experience of involving patients and the public in its work, this session will explore the influence of lay people on NICE’s decision-making, the distinction between the view of patients and those of “the public”, and will use NICE’s Citizens Council as an illustration of meaningful lay engagement.

13:25 – 13:45 Role of Patient Advocacy Groups in Health Care Policy Decisions
  Nicola Bedlington

Drawing on the experience of the European Patients’ Forum, and some strong examples at EU level, this presentation will explore the rationale behind patient involvement in healthcare policy making, and some of the challenges in ensuring this involvement in meaningful.

FORUM SESSION IV
QUALITY OF LIFE AND KNOWLEDGE ABOUT TOBACCO SMOKING TOXICITY AMONG SMOKERS OR SMOKERS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE LUNG DISEASES IN POLAND AND GREECE
Room 341

Presented by the ISPOR Poland and Greece Regional Chapters

Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) (e.g. global impression, functional status, HRQoL, symptoms) is still an evolving field in Poland and Greece. Nevertheless, it should be stressed that HRQOL is one of the more important endpoints in clinical and economic analysis, especially if cost-utility analysis is considered. Numerous topics will be discussed on this issue from the perspective of the experiences in Poland and Greece.
