A Closer Look at Migraine Data and Value Based Drivers*
Migraine is a disabling neurologic disease, which is in the top 10 causes of years lived with disability worldwide.
The purpose of the discussion is to highlight the value framework for migraine and underlying assumptions. In addition, we will share migraine data, and an estimation of the population that may be appropriate for preventives. This workshop aims to foster a better understanding of value-based drivers which is critical to payer evaluation of a product’s value.

Transforming the Treatment Paradigm of Chronic Disease through Innovation: Are You Ready to Join the Conversation?
Delivering value to patients is a primary driver of innovation for new medical technologies that are focused on improving both short- and long-term outcomes. As such, “one size does not fit all” is becoming a main tenet of personalized medical treatment that is tailored to an individual’s characteristics, needs and preferences. In chronic diseases, there is a dichotomy between the delivery of health care and the utilization of new technology that could potentially change the management of chronic diseases and deliver superior outcomes. This panel discussion is comprised of primary stakeholders who are key decision-makers in our healthcare system. They will discuss the role of new technology and how it can advance patient outcomes, the need for real-world evidence to evaluate the performance of new innovations, and the potential clinical, humanistic and economic population health impacts that are relevant to reimbursement and coverage decisions.

Endometriosis: Clinical and Economic Implications
There are substantial, yet unrecognized clinical and economic implications of endometriosis. Patients with endometriosis may struggle with several types of chronic pain and various comorbidities. Current treatment options for women with endometriosis are limited. Consequently, patients may require multiple visits to physicians, trials of various prescription therapies, and invasive procedures, resulting in a substantial economic burden.
Key topics will include:
- The patient journey pre & post diagnosis
- Clinical and economic implications
- Impact on professional and personal quality of life
