International Society of Pharmacoeconomic Outcomes Research (UU-ISPOR)
The mission of the UU-ISPOR student chapter is to provide a forum for gaining knowledge and developing leadership skills necessary for professional advancement in pharmacoeconomics and outcomes research by increasing awareness of the goals and objectives of the Society and working together with members of the pharmaceutical industry, health care related organizations, and academia.
ISPOR promotes the science of pharmacoeconomics (health economics) and outcomes research (the scientific discipline that evaluates the effect of health care interventions on patient well-being including clinical outcomes, economic outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes) and facilitates the translation of this research into useful information for healthcare decision-makers to ensure that society allocates scarce health care resources wisely, fairly and efficiently. ISPOR is a fully international, educational and scientific organization that embraces health care researchers from all disciplines conducting health care outcomes research. These disciplines include pharmacoeconomics (health economics), epidemiology (pharmacoepidemiology), decision analysis, modeling, risk assessment, patient-reported outcomes (quality of life), use of 'real world' data such as health care database analyses, observational studies, patient registries. Health care includes use of pharmaceuticals, biologics, genetically-derived products, medical devices, delivery systems, and health services.
