Why is it important?
Health Technology Assessment is becoming the basis of drug approvals and formulary drug inclusion in most of the countries. Newer way of clinical description of drugs is better explained using outcomes research. To popularize and standardize these new scientific principles, it is highly advisable to have national Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research Guidelines.
Perspectives
I recommend this paper for those who are in the process of making pharmacoeconomics guidelines. Also it would be great for those who want to know the process or key challenges faced while developing the pharmacoeconomics guidelines for India.
