ISPOR members interested in emerging approaches to patient engagement in research are welcome to attend this open discussion. Are you interested in how economics and outcomes researchers can prepare for a new era in HEOR in which patients are guiding research decisions? Grab your lunch and join us for a brief presentation on how patient engagement touches on various aspects of health economics and outcomes research and the value that is added from involving patients in this space. We will discuss the new ISPOR definition of ‘patient engagement in research,’ the revised special interest group structure, as well as identify core topics for the group to develop in the future. Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss and offer ideas on the core topics as well member engagement activities. All attendees are welcome.
