41st Annual North American Meeting
Many Views on Value
DoubleTree by Hilton Portland
1000 NE Multnomah St.
Portland, OR 97232 USA
The theme Many Views on Value rests on the idea that value is a function of the lens through which one sees the world. Inherent in this is an assumption that different stakeholders are necessary to understand the true value of any intervention. The pre-meeting short courses will include methodology sessions on assessing values in patients and caregivers, clinicians, policy makers and other stakeholders.
Meeting Co-Chairs: Karen Eden, PhD, Carmen Lewis, MD, MPH and Daniel Matlock, MD
More information will be posted as we near the meeting.
