Resource Provides an Outline of One of the Most Complex Healthcare Systems in the World
Lawrenceville, NJ, USA—March 31, 2026—ISPOR—The Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research announced today that it has launched a new resource that provides an overview of the healthcare system in the United States.
The United States has a population of more than 300 million people and is supported by one of the most complex healthcare systems in the world, formed by intertwining relationships between providers, payers, and patients receiving care. The US healthcare system is also in a constant state of evolution. For these reasons, ISPOR has launched a new website—US Healthcare System Overview—that provides a summary of this intricate and highly unique healthcare system.
ISPOR’s US Healthcare System Overview includes information on the background of the system, decision makers and influencers, medical devices and in vitro diagnostics, documentation requirements, and resources. The resource provides online content as well as a downloadable brochure.
“We are very pleased to make this content available for those who are interested in learning more about the unique and extraordinarily complex US healthcare system,” stated ISPOR CEO Rob Abbott. “ISPOR is a global organization. Making this content available speaks to the fact that the United States has the largest healthcare system in the world and it is arguably the most complicated and fragmented system. As one of the most viewed resources that the Society offers, our intention is to make this resource more easily accessible and to make supplemental content available for viewers about the vital role that the field of HEOR plays in improving healthcare decisions.”
