Innovation and Value in Health Care

NEHI’s research and analysis focuses on assessing the impact of highly innovative novel therapies on the U.S. health care system, and potential solutions to ensure timely patient access, affordability, and sustainable health insurance coverage. NEHI’s agenda on value and innovation is also aimed at systematic improvement in the use of medicines through improved patient medication adherence and medication management. Prior NEHI research on patient medication adherence is widely cited. Current NEHI projects focus on unique payment and insurance coverage challenges raised by very highly innovative, "next generation" therapies, as well as access and affordability to these therapies for financially vulnerable patients.
