Abstract
Health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) has become an integral part of healthcare systems, through its ability to authentically demonstrate the value of the product. HEOR provides healthcare stakeholders with important insights to make informed decisions regarding healthcare delivery. This review aims to highlight the pivotal role of HEOR across the product lifecycle and the value of integrating HEOR activities during the various phases of drug development. Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly realizing that the integration of HEOR activities from early phases of product development through product launch, also during the postmarketing phase, to generate real-world evidence (RWE) can be crucial for their product's continued commercial success. HEOR helps validate the value of a pharmaceutical product, enabling its success in distinct regulatory and health technology assessment (HTA) landscapes across varied geographies. Regardless of several challenges in data collection and analysis, technological advancements facilitate opportunities to improve the value of HEOR. With rising demands for robust clinical evidence by global regulators and economic evidence by HTA agencies and payers, HEOR will become even more crucial in establishing long-lasting value of a pharmaceutical product for all stakeholders, including regulators, patients, prescribers, and payers.
期刊介绍:
Pharmaceutical Medicine is a specialist discipline concerned with medical aspects of the discovery, development, evaluation, registration, regulation, monitoring, marketing, distribution and pricing of medicines, drug-device and drug-diagnostic combinations. The Journal disseminates information to support the community of professionals working in these highly inter-related functions. Key areas include translational medicine, clinical trial design, pharmacovigilance, clinical toxicology, drug regulation, clinical pharmacology, biostatistics and pharmacoeconomics. The Journal includes:Overviews of contentious or emerging issues.Comprehensive narrative reviews that provide an authoritative source of information on topical issues.Systematic reviews that collate empirical evidence to answer a specific research question, using explicit, systematic methods as outlined by PRISMA statement.Original research articles reporting the results of well-designed studies with a strong link to wider areas of clinical research.Additional digital features (including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations) can be published with articles; these are designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. In addition, articles published in Pharmaceutical Medicine may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand important medical advances.All manuscripts are subject to peer review by international experts. Letters to the Editor are welcomed and will be considered for publication.
