The ISPOR Health and Disease Management Special Interest Group developed this handbook as resource to improve the evidence base in health care studies with the ultimate goal of better patient outcomes and lower health care costs.
This handbook provides an overview of the sources of data for conducting ‘real-world’ outcomes research. The reader will learn how to use and assess the reliability and validity of electronic health records, medical charts, claims and medication databases, alternative population-based data sources, and patient-reported outcomes, as well as other self-reported data.
