 The International
Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research is an
International
organization promoting the science of pharmacoeconomics and health
outcomes research. The
Society was established in 1995 under the name Association of
Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes
Research (APOR), until 1997 when it became international and the
name changed to the International
Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR). The
Society was organized to act
as a scientific leader relevant to research in pharmacoeconomics,
health outcomes assessment, and
related issues of public policy. ISPOR represents health care
researchers and practitioners including
pharmacists, physicians, economists, nurses and researchers from the
fields of academia, pharmaceutical industry, government, managed
care, health research organizations, and purchasers of health care.
