Each registrant for the Disease Management Colloquium will receive a complimentary copy of the HEALTH CARE COST, QUALITY, AND OUTCOMES: ISPOR BOOK OF TERMS which normally costs $60. The BOOK OF TERMS builds on ISPOR's first publication, ISPOR LEXICON First Edition, to promote and facilitate greater understanding of health care outcomes research and its use in health care decisions. This book is targeted to health care professionals and decision makers to promote informed health care decisions assuring health care value for money, as well as to health care outcomes researchers to promote a better understanding of health care delivery and management.

Each monograph includes a key term and a listing of related terms described in the monograph, a brief definition of the key term, an explanation of the use of the key term (and related terms), the value of the term(s), key issues, and three to five references as well as selected figures, tables, and graphs.

The HEALTH CARE COST, QUALITY, AND OUTCOMES: ISPOR BOOK OF TERMS serves multiple functions. It is a useful reference for the outcomes researcher. It is user-friendly lexicon and encyclopedia ('lexipedia") for the health care professional to understand health care outcomes research terminology and use. It is a comprehensive textbook for teachers of health care providers and health outcomes researchers on outcomes research and its application in the health care setting.

Over 200 ISPOR members contributed to this book, both as authors and reviewers. Monographs include perspectives of geographically diverse regions, including North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia where knowledge of pharmacoeconomics and outcomes research is increasingly used in the health care decision-making process. Listed below are just some of the over 100 monographs in the HEALTH CARE COST, QUALITY, AND OUTCOMES: ISPOR BOOK OF TERMS.

"We are very pleased to be able to welcome everyone to the Disease Management Colloquium in Philadelphia. We believe this is an outstanding conference and we know you will all enjoy it immensely. We have assembled a top notch faculty and the interaction will be first rate. Disease Management is a dynamic field and in order to stay on top of the details it takes hard work and attention to what the experts have to say."
