“Don’t be afraid to try new things” - James Hasegawa This is a special episode in Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) with James Hasegawa. James is a director at Abbott and is responsible for HEOR projects. In this episode, James shares insights on how healthcare reimbursement works as it related to clinical trials. We also dig into the world of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) groups and what it takes to model reimbursement for a medical product. If you’re interested in breaking from the silos of clinical research and learn about important adjacent functions such as HEOR, this episode is for you.
