It encompasses a rnageof skills and knowledge which includes economics, epidemiology, decision analysis and biostatistical analysis. Due to the economic pressures exerted on healthcare systems, the undeniable visibility of the amounts spent by consumers on medications and the growing competition for the healthcare market in the United States have all boosted the development of new methods to assess healthcare costs and results. Pharmacoeconomics is becoming an integral part of drug development and marketing and as a result the number of clinical trial protocols, including the collection of data necessary to pharmacoeconomic analysis, is increasing on a daily basis. The pharmacoeconomic manager is the person in charge of devising and implementing these studies and protocols in the pharmaceutical industry.
