At a recent meeting of the Pharmaceutical Onology Initiative’s (POI) HTA group, OHE’s Nancy Devlin provided an overview of the EuroQol Group’s scientific research agenda for the coming year and plans for the EQ-5D-5L approach to measuring patient-reported outcomes of care.

At a recent meeting of the Pharmaceutical Onology Initiative’s (POI[1]) HTA group, OHE’s Nancy Devlin provided an overview of the EuroQol Group’s scientific research agenda for the coming year and plans for the EQ-5D-5L approach to measuring patient-reported outcomes of care. Health technology assessment affects patients’ access to oncology medicines. The EQ-5D is the principal instrument for measuring health related quality of life for HTA purposes, making planned developments in EQ-5D instruments and value sets important in decision making. Nancy’s presentation appears below.

OHE currently is working under a research grant from the Policy Research Programme (PRP) of the UK’s National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) to produce an EQ-5D-5L Value Set for England.
