Throughout the last 20+ years, the International Conference on Health Policy Statistics—organized by the Health Policy Statistics Section of the American Statistical Association—has played a vital role in the dissemination of statistical methods to support evidence-based health policy and health care. The conference provides a unique forum for discussing research needs and solutions to the methodological challenges in the design of studies and analysis of data for health policy research.

ICHPS aims to create an interface for practitioners, methodologists, health service researchers, health economists, and policy analysts to exchange and build upon ideas they will disseminate to the broader health policy community.

Health services, policy, and outcomes research rely on generating rigorous and reliable evidence, creating a major need for effective communication and dissemination of advances in quantitative methodology. Any attempt to disseminate methods should allow a constructive platform for debate and engage multiple stakeholders in identifying limitations of existing methods from different perspectives so newer methods addressing these shortcomings can be developed.
