As patients are becoming more involved in their health care outcomes and data, improved and accessible communications are increasingly needed. OPEN Health’s Gavin Jones, the moderator of this panel, highlights the four main domains of HEOR that are important to consider when communicating with patient communities: (1) having an underlying intent to improve patient outcomes, (2) ensuring patient involvement at every step of the process, (3) taking inspiration from what matters most to the patients and their families, and (4) ensuring that stakeholders are informed of the results in a way that is understandable to them.
