ISPOR 2021: HEOR—Evolving for Tomorrow's Challenges
During 2020, many professions, research fields, and industries were forced to an inflection point, requiring verification of direction and opportunities to chart a new roadmap for development. Healthcare systems’ resilience and sustainability is being tested to its maximum, challenging prepandemic priorities under unprecedented resource constraints. This has highlighted opportunities and challenges in HEOR methods, practices, and application including our ability to respond effectively.
