On November 12, more than 50 managed care professionals and various health care stakeholders gathered in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia to examine these barriers to adoption for RWE in managed care. The multi-day meeting, our latest Partnership Forum event hosted by the AMCP Research Institute, consisted of a series of workshops that challenged participants to examine opportunities and challenges posed by RWE use and identify ways to address these barriers to adoption through refining and applying a set of RWE standards geared toward payer decision-makers that we have developed over the past year.
