#HSR24 Day 3 opened with a #healtheconomics plenary by Prof Michael Drummond on the current state of decision making in #healthcare, and panel discussion. The final plenary lead by @aliepea.bsky.social featured a panel of funder and policy makers on the future landscape for #healthservicesresearch.

#HSR24 closes with a panel of funders and policy makers chaired by @aliepea.bsky.social - still many cautions and considerations for HSR in the digital age, but also so many opportunities… many of which have been highlighted by the fantastic presentations over the last three days!

Speaker next to a projected slide The Pitfalls Funding issues potentially problematic Value based care not incentivised Fall between State and Commonwealth responsibilities Opportunity cost in developing models Sufficient volume is required Benefits may not occur within a year - capacity increasing Possibility of choosing options that do not benefit society the most A greater emphasis on the value of freed up resources is required - what do they mean? Did not appear to support a reduction in expenditure but rather an increase in capacity There are choices to be made - what are the "best" things to be doing?

Philip Haywood discussed the pitfalls of cost consequence studies in virtual care. What is the value of freed up resources? #HSR24

Very happy to share that our work on Covid-associated Acute Kidney Injury using the ISARIC global COVID hospitalised patient’s dataset won the people’s choice award at #HSR24! 🥳🎊
