Mike Aristides Understanding the full potential of the new “must have” analysis in drug and technology assessment. page 4 Evidence and Effectiveness Redressing the Balance Xavier Badía Striking a balance between evidence-based medicine and health outcomes research. page 7 Commercializing HEOR Adding Value Elisabeth Hazard, Karen Joy, Cindy Eisenschenk Bringing HEOR from the academic to the commercial. page 9 Seeing the Commercial Light F rom BIAs to CEAs, from EBM to VDPs, there is much more to health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) than simply familiarising oneself with a rosta of new abbreviations and acronyms. But as a discipline, HEOR has often been, until recently at least, kept apart from the commercial arms of pharmaceutical companies, closeted away like a dusty academic pursuit with little or no practical relevance to their day-to-day business concerns. As the IMS Health experts in this latest Pharmaceutical Executive Europe supplement explain, however, it is time for pharma companies not only to bring HEOR ‘into the open,’ but also to align it firmly with their commercial strategies. Only then can HEOR’s true value to all pharma’s stakeholders be fully understood and appreciated.
