Beyond QALYs: A Quantum Leap Forward or a Leap in the Dark?
OHE’s Paula Lorgelly took part in the Future of Value: Insights from the Experts panel discussion, Indianapolis, on 1 March 2016.
Paula presented a paper which discusses issues with going ‘beyond quality adjusted life years (QALYs)’ when valuing health care interventions. There are three dimensions to consider when going beyond QALYs: develop a better measure of health (e.g. one that could be condition-specific); use broader measures of benefit; consider a societal perspective (e.g. include productivity loss and carers’ effects).
Paula’s presentation focused on utilising a broader measure of benefit, focusing on alternative such as the capability approach and subjective wellbeing measures.
The panel was sponsored by Eli Lilly.

The Economics of the Market for Medicines
Jorge Mestre-Ferrandiz also presented a guest lecture at City University, London, on 17 March 2016, on the topic of the economics of the market for medicines.
The first half of the lecture included an overview of the global challenges facing medicines manufacturers, discussion of the ‘supply side’ (focusing on research and development of new drugs), and evidence relating to the ‘demand side’ which suggests that UK spending on medicines as a percentage of GDP is already amongst the lowest in developed countries.
The second half of the lecture looked at NICE and the ‘hurdle’ of demonstrating cost-effectiveness, as well as an overview of pricing regulation, and specific characteristics of the UK market.
