| Comparative
effectiveness has been one of the most contentious issues in
health reform. Recent legislative initiatives and current
health reform proposals have moved comparative effectiveness
to the forefront of attention for health care stakeholders,
with a broad range of complexities and implications.
Generating better evidence
about the costs and benefits of different treatment options
– through research on the comparative effectiveness of those
options – has the potential to bend the curve in health care
spending and reduce inappropriate variation in the system.
Join Paul Keckley,
Executive Director of the Deloitte Center for Health
Solutions, Deloitte LLP, in an examination of comparative
effectiveness implications for a variety of stakeholders,
including policy makers, providers, consumers, payors/health
plans, and life sciences companies, based upon the recent
Deloitte Center for Health Solutions study: "Comparative
Effectiveness: Perspectives for Consideration." Report
findings conclude that, in the U.S., a “tools, not rules”
approach, with industry and policy makers working side by
side, will result in a comparative effectiveness model that
delivers better value and lower costs.
