While designing and implementing integrated interventions has been challenging, perhaps even more challenging has been evaluating whether the interventions are making a difference for the outcomes that matter most to people, families, and communities.

Whole person health requires a holistic approach that considers multiple factors that promote health or disease. While health care is one of the factors, the greatest impact on individual and population health is derived from health behaviors and social and environmental factors. Supporting whole health means reimagining how systems that have been traditionally siloed (e.g., health care, public health, social support services) work together in an integrated fashion to protect and improve health.

In this session, panelists will make the case for why HEOR needs to help drive innovation in whole person health by evaluating the effectiveness and value of interventions designed to support whole health. Panelists will discuss challenges and solutions to filling critical evaluation gaps, including:

• Measuring and incentivizing what’s meaningful: How to develop and measure more meaningful outcomes (e.g., a “Whole Person Health Index”, electronic clinical quality measures)
• The wrong pocket problem: How to account for value across sectors (e.g., modeling or health economic guidance for the cost-benefit analyses of Whole Person Health interventions)
