Jim's talk, scheduled during the morning plenary session, Tuesday, November 9, 2010 will discuss the healthcare marketplace of the future through demonstration of comparative effectiveness and value. Discussion topics include:

• How do we define 'value' in oncology, CNS and other therapeutic areas? Will there be a long-term trend towards value-based reimbursement on a global basis?
• How are we viewing methods/considerations for reducing the cost of delivered care (eg. comparative effectiveness research)?
• How can payers make best use of their data streams externally? How can biopharma benefit?
• What role will real life studies play in reimbursement?
