ISPOR Research Network
To encourage research collaboration and networking opportunities, ISPOR is
developing a survey/questionnaire that will become part of the membership
profile. Members will be able to choose disease, methodology and/or topic
categories of interest and get in touch with other members who share their
interest.
Value in Health
The Official Journal of The International Society for Pharmacoeconomics &
Outcomes Research
Value In Health is committed to providing papers, concepts, and ideas that
advance the field of pharmacoeconomics and outcomes research and help health
care leaders to make decisions that are solidly evidence-based.
Value in Health is open to all original papers bearing on these two
propositions:
(a) the ultimate purpose of health care is to increase the overall
health-related well being of the individual and of society as a whole; and
(b) society’s health care resources ought to be allocated in a way that
maximizes total health-related well being, given the resources available.
Value in Health focuses on health care worth. Health care cost containment is
not a matter of simply purchasing the cheapest drugs or other medical inputs.
Increasingly, health care leaders need pharmacoeconomic studies, outcomes
research and information that can guide them in health care resource allocation,
and in evaluating alternative therapies and interventions.
We see our role as encouraging and disseminating pharmacoeconomics and outcomes
research and concepts that will be rigorous, methodologically or theoretically
solid, ethically sound, and valuable to real-world decision-makers. As the
official journal of ISPOR, our vision is to bring researchers and
decision-makers together, translating science into practice.
ISPOR CONNECTIONS accepts articles on international or country-specific
healthcare guidelines, policies, methodological issues, reviews related to
pharmacoeconomics and outcomes research including economic, clinical study, or
health-related quality-of-life study issues.
