Prescription for Better Access

Value in Prescription Drugs – What Does It Really Mean?


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the complex and often debated concept of value in prescription drugs. They discuss how different stakeholders—payers, manufacturers, providers, regulators, and patients—define value, and how methodologies like health technology assessments (HTA) and cost-effectiveness analyses shape drug pricing and access. With insights from leading experts, the conversation examines the controversies surrounding value-based pricing, including the role of real-world evidence, quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), and innovation incentives. Can we strike a balance between affordability, innovation, and patient access? And what does the future hold for value-based drug pricing in the U.S.? Tune in for a deep dive into one of the most critical issues in healthcare today.
