ISPOR 2024

I will be speaking on two panels at the upcoming ISPOR 2024 conference in Atlanta, GA. Myfirst panel “Economic Insights Into Nutrition: Unlocking the Value in Chronic Disease Management” on Tuesday, May 7, will discuss the opportunities and challenges of economic evaluation of nutrition interventions and compare economic analysis of nutrition interventions with analysis of pharmaceutical interventions. My second panel, “How Can GRACE and Other Novel Methods Estimate ISPOR Value Flower Components? A User Guide to Generalized Cost Effectiveness Analysis (GCEA)” on Wednesday, May 8th will describe how value petals within this GCEA framework correspond to four value assessment themes: uncertainty, dynamics, value based on beneficiary identity, and other factors. FTI Consulting’s Center for Healthcare Economics and Policy will also be presenting two posters at the ISPOR 2024 conference (details below).
