Description

With support from the Pharmaceutical Research Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), the Research Consortium for Health Care Value Assessment (RC-HCVA) established a research Grant-Making Center aimed at funding projects that will inform efficient use of health care spending to mitigate the current public health crisis and support a more sustainable health system. The goal of the 2020 funding cycle is to advance research to support a robust, evidence-based understanding of value in health care across the full spectrum of care, particularly focused on how to use health care dollars wisely in the context and aftermath of COVID-19, and ways to cut waste to best respond to the next public health emergency. To jumpstart the RC-HCVA Grant-Making Center, we solicited thought-leaders in specified areas to produce timely research briefs. These briefs will be published by Health Affairs in a series of blogs through October 2020.

The RC-HCVA hosted a webinar, facilitated by Dr. Mark Fendrick, in which the panel of researchers will share their findings and insights into these COVID-19 focused topics.
