Cost Effectiveness: Methods, Analysis, and Challenges for Medical Technology Companies

Tuesday, June 30 – Wednesday, July 01, 2009

Washington, DC | Sidley Austin Offices


Health care cost-containment is the topic of the day, but a great deal of confusion prevails about what these studies are, how they differ from other health technology assessment, health economics, or comparative effectiveness studies, how they are done, what they mean, and how they can be misused or misunderstood.

In this conference, medical technology industry and consulting experts, using illustrative case examples, explain practical issues of cost-effectiveness, including the different types of studies, how they differ for different product categories or when used for different purposes, and what internal resources are needed to conduct or oversee such assessments.
