2018 Presentation Highlights

ISSUE PANEL: Value Assessment Frameworks in an Era of Personalized Medicine: Shared Objectives or Irreconcilable Differences?

Panelists: Dan Ollendorf, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer for the Institute of Clinical and Economic Review (ICER); Robert W. Dubois, MD, PhD
Chief Science Officer & Executive Vice President, National Pharmaceutical Council (NPC); Sara Traigle van Geertruyden, JD, Executive Director, Partnership to Improve Patient Care (PIPC)
By identifying which medical treatments and procedures will work best for each patient, personalized medicine improves efficiency at both the individual and health system levels. In an environment where the US has paid increasing attention to health care costs, VAFs aim to systematically quantify which treatments provide the most benefit for patients and the health system at a reasonable cost. Indeed, the two share many objectives related to improving health outcomes. Nevertheless, the current methodologies of VAFs may not sufficiently capture the value of personalized medicine, focusing instead on population health, thereby overlooking efficiencies in patient-level health care and potentially under-valuing innovative therapies. This panel aims to expose and debate the challenges of valuing personalized medicines in the current VAF environment and identify areas of consensus on which newer methodologies can be built.
