“Evidence, Economics, and Ethics: The Future of Health Technology Assessment”
The 32nd SMDM Annual Meeting promises to be a forum where researchers will present and discuss innovative and challenging science related to all aspects of medical decision making. The range of work ranges from health technology assessments to theories of shared decision making; from applied cost-effectiveness analyses to studies of cognitive psychology and much more. Researchers will present their findings in scientific presentations, keynote talks, special symposia and short courses. Past attendees have described the meeting as the premier scientific venue for the presentation of the science of decision making in health and medicine from multiple disciplines.
This year’s theme focuses on the challenges in making decisions about health technologies at both aggregate and individual levels and from different disciplines and paradigms. Meeting attendees will participate in discussions with society members who are international leaders in integrating these different perspectives and translating scientific knowledge into health-related clinical and policy decisions.
