Free monthly e-newsletter – Health Outcomes Communicator Great communication ideas for healthcare economists Healthcare Outcomes Communicator (HOC) is packed with information and ideas for health economists and outcomes researchers… especially about how you can more effectively communicate your work and its value to stakeholders within your organisation and outside it.
Why an e-newsletter for healthcare economists and outcomes researchers – and why now?
As regulatory barriers are placed higher, and cost and proof of efficacy issues assume ever greater importance in healthcare decision making, the health economists’ role is changing and expanding. You face pressures to persuade your colleagues and the wider world of clinicians, pharmacists, hospitals, government and private payers that what you’re doing not only has scientific rigour, but is innovative, creative, and effective. This educational challenge is paramount, because only when your work is understood and appreciated by your potential audiences can the information you generate achieve the impact it should. Healthcare Outcomes Communicator has been created to help you communicate the essence and the value of your work simply and effectively to all stakeholders in healthcare, thus engendering the respect you deserve.
