THETA presents at the upcoming 2017 CADTH Symposium
This year discussions and presentations will revolve around the the issue of value in health care: how to define it, how to measure it, and how to incorporate it into effective health technology management, as well as what is being done globally to advance the science and make it easier to incorporate real-world data into health technology assessments that support real-world decisions.
2017 CADTH Symposium will be in Ottawa, Otario, from April 23, 2017 to April 25, 2017.
Every year THETA staff contributes substantially to this symposium, by leading workshops, oral and poster presentations as well as discussion panels.
