COVID-19 Related Content
The continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic provides many opportunities for HEOR researchers to analyze its effects on individuals, health care, and society. ISPOR welcomes abstracts relating to treatments, vaccines, and other interventions, as well as other health care issues resulting from the pandemic – for example the impact of deferred healthcare for non-COVID issues. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: Economic Evaluation - and its use in healthcare decisions; Modeling, both disease and economic; and COVID specific Clinical Outcomes Assessment including Patient Centered Research; impact on data ‘quality’ due to skewed patient interaction with the healthcare system.

RWE Related Content
As part of this conference, we will be featuring a subprogram/track during the main program focusing on methods and cases related to study design and analysis of digital health data, especially patient-generated data. Special attention is expected to be paid to causal inference and predictive methods, as well as the role of estimation/modeling combinations and sensitivity analysis. This subprogram is expected to be a combination of submitted and invited sessions.
