IMS Health had a significant presence at ISPOR in Toronto, Canada this year. In support of our Health Economics and Outcomes Research practice, IMS hosted a symposium as well as presented several posters.
This year's symposium, "Why does Medication Noncompliance Persist? Multiple Stakeholders Chart a Research Agenda for the 21st Century," featured an interactive and dynamic discussion on the body of research related to noncompliance, why progress has slowed, and the keys to significantly improving medication compliance at the health system level. The symposium was moderated by Jonothan Tierce, General Manager and Center of Excellence Leader, Global Health Economics & Outcomes Research, IMS Consulting; speakers include Joshua S. Benner, PharmD, ScD, Principal, IMS Health, Health Economics & Outcomes Research, and Richard A. Feifer, MD, MPH, Vice President of Program Development, Care Enhancing Solutions, Medco Health Solutions, Inc.
IMS also presented 30 posters covering subjects such as persistence and compliance, economic burden and cost effectiveness of treatment, as well as conducted three workshops, one issue panel and hosted an advisory board presentation with a Canadian HEOR specialist.
Here are abstracts and proceedings:
