To provide a venue to allow for the exchange of information among parties interested in pharmacoeconomic research opportunities within managed-care organizations, an invitational conference was conducted by The University of Arizona's Center for Pharmaceutical Economics on January 20 and 21, 1994, in Tucson, Arizona. The purpose of the conference was to bring together representatives from managed-care organizations, academic institutions, and the pharmaceutical industry to discuss opportunities for collaboration, as well as consider the barriers to conducting pharmacoeconomic research in the managed-care setting. Challenges to collaboration include database development, the need for an integrated perspective, sensitivity to marketing matters, and a variety of technical and organizational barriers. To overcome these barriers, the interested groups must develop trust, recognize common ground, share risk, and communicate effectively. This article describes the emerging themes of the conference based on transcripts of formal presentations and participants' comments.
为给那些对管理式医疗组织中药物经济学研究机会感兴趣的各方提供一个信息交流的场所，亚利桑那大学药物经济学中心于1994年1月20日和21日在亚利桑那州图森市举办了一次邀请会议。会议的目的是召集来自管理式医疗组织、学术机构和制药行业的代表，讨论合作机会，并探讨在管理式医疗环境中开展药物经济学研究的障碍。合作面临的挑战包括数据库开发、需要综合视角、对营销问题的敏感性以及各种技术和组织障碍。为克服这些障碍，相关团体必须建立信任、认识到共同点、分担风险并进行有效沟通。本文根据正式演讲的文字记录和与会者的评论，介绍了会议中出现的新主题。
