Patient-Focused Economic and Policy Research
The Patient-Focused Economic and Policy Research Division
at the Global Healthy Living Foundation
At Global Healthy Living Foundation, we believe that equity, access, and affordability are paramount in the well-being of patients we serve. Unfortunately, economic and policy matters often undermine these principles to the detriment of patients. GHLF needs to examine how such issues impact patients’ financial and humanistic outcomes.
Our center promises to investigate such problems through primary research, which are then promoted through our various social media platforms as well as conventional media. Our researchers also address these important topics through opinion editorials, speaking engagements, and our world-class podcast series – Healthcare Matters. Our experts have published extensively and referenced the impact of biopharmaceuticals and health policies on costs and clinical outcomes in the most prominent medical sources and media publications, including the Clinical Economics and Outcomes Research, The Oncologist, Journal of Vaccines and Vaccinations, Health Economics Policy and Law, Health Science Journal, USA Today, Washington Examiner, Managed Healthcare Executive, The Hill and Morning Consult. They are sought-after speakers and have been invited to provide detailed presentations, briefings and expert reviews for the U.S. Congress, dozens of state legislatures, and at conferences and medical symposiums around the world.
Areas of Research Focus:
- Impact of accumulator adjustment program bans on insurance premiums
- How rebate contracting reform will lower healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes
- The economic impact of prior authorization policies in the U.S.
- COVID-19 vaccine patents
- How ensuring access to cancer diagnostics improves patient access and equity in healthcare
- Impact of Medicare benefit design on access
- How formulary exclusions undermine patient access
- How step therapy administrative focus destabilizes patient and healthcare professional decision-making
- Access to healthcare services in low-income communities across the United States
We continually develop new partnerships with academia, think tanks, and other like-minded organizations that believe in patient equity, access, and affordability as the cornerstone of a healthy society. If you would like to partner with us on a project, or have ideas for a topic we should research, contact Robert Popovian, Chief Science Policy Officer.
