In 2020, ISPOR’s Institutional Council, Educational Council, and Faculty Advisor Council published the Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) Competencies Framework™. Due to the evolving HEOR landscape, an ISPOR Competencies Framework Cross-Council Working Group was formed to update the professional competencies.
The goal of this forum is to present the work in progress of the update to the ISPOR Competencies Framework. The objectives are (1) for the panel to present an overview of the content of the update, which includes refining the existing Statistics and Analytics competency and adding new competencies related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), and digital health, and (2) for the audience to provide input on the importance and relevance of the new competencies in small group discussions.
Ebere Onukwugha will open the session by welcoming attendees, introducing the speakers and highlighting forum objectives. Soham Shukla, Stephanie Earnshaw, and Laura Pizzi from the Cross-Council Working Group leadership will present on the history and process to update the competencies. Soham will offer an overview of the new competencies and lead the small group discussion, with support from the other speakers, offering perspectives on DEI, AI/ML, and digital health. Laura will close by sharing next steps and inviting participants to continue to give feedback.
