With 2019 shaping up to be another significant year for health economics and outcomes research, and increasingly innovative health technologies affecting both the cost and impact of healthcare decisions, rapid change is affecting healthcare systems in real time. The theme of this year's International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) Europe annual meeting was centered on digital transformation of healthcare; over 4,000 attendees from over 90 countries spent the day in the discussion of the changing roles and shared responsibilities of increased digitization, which involves major changes not only in technology but also in the way care is organized and delivered.
