How Patient Groups have Begun to Influence the Value and Coverage Debate
source: Health Affairs Blog
year: 2016
authors: Margaret Anderson, Kristin Schneeman
summary/abstract:In 2015, two issues related to medicine could be relied on to generate headlines: drug pricing and the proliferation of new value frameworks that claimed to define the value and even the price of drugs in seemingly easy-to-understand ways.

But that is beginning to change, in an evolution of a broader shift in the role that patients are playing in the research and development (R&D) enterprise.
