A Structured, Quantitative Health Outcomes Approach to Drug Benefit-Risk Analysis
June 12 | 11:00 AM-12:30 PM ET

Discuss how outcomes research tools for modeling long-term health outcomes, measuring health preferences, and establishing the value of additional information could provide a more structured, transparent, and quantitative process of assessing risk-benefit balance.
