Reactions to the New DMAA Outcomes Guidelines
DMAA just released the much awaited DMAA Outcomes Guidelines Report. The DMAA guidelines are the result of a year-long initiative to develop industry consensus on the much-debated, often controversial methods used in measuring disease management outcomes.

Solucia has assembled a panel of industry experts to address the impact of the DMAA Outcomes Guidelines Report on the practice of outcomes analysis. Questions to be addressed include:
  • What are DMAA's key recommendations for financial outcomes measurement?
  • How do the proposed guidelines address well-known measurement issues such as regression to the mean and other biases?
  • How can a purchaser evaluate outcomes using the DMAA guidelines?
  • How successful will the guidelines be in convincing program purchasers?
