Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) Overview

In Partnership With:
HeorStrategies.com

Health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) has become essential for pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device product development and commercialization. HEOR provides critical evidence on the multiple dimensions of product value, including clinical, economic, and societal value, as well as value for patients, decision makers, and healthcare policy. EpidStrategies scientists work with clients across the spectrum to design, execute, and analyze scientifically rigorous and commercially relevant health economics and outcomes research. Our HEOR studies quantify the value of new and existing therapies for key stakeholders, including payers, providers, patients, and policy makers. Our scientists disseminate HEOR findings in presentations at well-recognized health policy and academic congresses (e.g., ISPOR, ISPOR EU, ICPE, AMCP, ASHEcon), at multiple clinical conferences (e.g., AMCP, ANA, AAN, ASH, AHA, DDW, IDWeek, ICPE, ISHLT, IAS), and in the peer-reviewed literature.
