Clinical outcomes assessments (COAs) have emerged as invaluable tools in health economics, offering a lens through which to assess the individual impact of medical interventions, patient experience and beliefs of the patient. From oncology to mental health, they are revolutionising patient-centred care, enabling more personalised treatments and enhancing communication between healthcare providers and patients. However, they require special training and considerations to optimise these benefits and protect data integrity across sites in a trial setting.
This webinar delves into the dynamic landscape of COAs, examining their historical use and significance, current uses and best practices, and making a case for greater standardisation in their implementation.
Join our webinar to learn more about:
- Evolving industry attitudes and practices in COA administration
- COA applications across various clinical domains and their vital role in healthcare and health economics research
- The implications and potential of artificial intelligence (AI), ePRO, wearable devices, telemedicine and other technology advancements regarding patient centricity
- Best practices and case studies that illustrate the importance of COA administration training and standardisation.
