9:00AM-10:00AM FIRST PLENARY SESSION
  Health Metrics - Patient to Population: Getting it Right
Valid, reliable and comparable measurements of patient outcomes can be aggregated to the population level to help guide policy formulation. Policy salience of health outcome information is enhanced when it is integrated with measurement of the effective coverage of key public health and medical care interventions. Such information would markedly improve health policymaking over time. In many countries, including the USA, despite considerable investment in the collection of health information, the key metrics needed to inform policy formulation are often not available. Thus, these countries are unable to know, across the population as a whole, how people are faring on health and whether they are receiving the interventions that would make the greatest contribution to improved health. During this session, research in multiple countries on the comparable assessment of population health and intervention effective coverage will be presented.

A Checklist for Good Research Practices for the Application of Conjoint Analysis in Health Care Research
Conjoint analysis and other patient preference methods are increasingly used in outcomes research as a means to identify and value aspects of health and health care. A checklist for good research practices for the application of conjoint analysis in outcomes research was developed and will be presented. This forum provides an opportunity to comment on this task force report. 
Presented by the ISPOR Patient Preference Methods–Conjoint Analysis Task Force

Good Research Practices on Evaluating and Documenting the Content Validity of PRO Instruments to Support Medical Product Labeling
In 2006, the US FDA issued the Draft Guidance for Industry on Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO) Measures: Use in Medical Product Development to support Labeling Claims. Content validity is a critical measurement property of a PRO instrument when the instrument is used to produce evidence of treatment benefit to support claims in medical product labeling. Issues related to the selection and use of existing PRO measures in the context of providing evidence to support a labeling claim for medical products as well as topics that need to be considered when generating and presenting evidence to support adequate content validity of existing measures used as endpoints will be presented. This forum provides an opportunity to comment on the report on Good Research Practices on Evaluating and Documenting the Content Validity of PRO Instruments to Support Medical Product Labeling.
