What are some trends you expect to see in coming years in regard to value in healthcare?
There are a couple of trends that I predict, some of which are perhaps futuristic and some of which really might happen in the next year. One trend that I hope we’ll see is that insurance companies will really include patients and the public in their coverage and decision-making bodies, like a pharmacy and therapeutics committee. Only when there’s a seat at the table for patients will we have the patient voice involved in coverage decisions. Another trend is the use of patient preferences in a really meaningful way that will really drive healthcare, and I think this is not just in real-world clinical settings, but I think what’s happening at the FDA now is really exciting and that too will drive the future of healthcare.
