In this time of scarce resources, and cutbacks in health spending it has become increasingly necessary to justify the impact of any health care intervention. Strategic Health Outcomes Advisors (SHOA) can help you overcome the reimbursement challenges by providing you with the outcomes and pharmacoeconomic data that is increasingly being sought by payers and managed care.
In today’s health care environment clinical findingsare only one part of determining the impact of treatment. The study of health outcomes looks beyond the physiological measures of success to the correlated effects on patients, populations, and systems. Health outcomes research can change best practice behavior.
SHOA’s researchers will help you identify and measure appropriate outcomes, including:
- Longevity, morbidity and mortality associated with specific disease states
- Complications and co-morbidities (as related to the disease state and/or intervention)
- Physical functional status
- Psychosocial functioning
- Quality of life
- Costs of care
- Use of specified services
- Patient satisfaction with care
SHOA’s multi-disciplinary team of KOLs, statisticians, pharmacoeconomic researchers, adherence experts and systems analysts will work with you to:
- Acquire and evaluate outcomes data
- Determine how to fill in gaps in the evidence base
- Develop and evaluate comparative effectiveness research
- Publish quality and cost data
- Guide delivery system reform based on value rather than cost
SHOA’s Advisors include two of the world-leading experts in Health Outcomes.
