Welcome to the NPC Members Only Community

As an NPC member, you have access to resources and materials developed especially with you in mind!

In addition to member only publications, we've developed PowerPoint presentations that summarize research findings allowing you to share the results with your internal teams. Visit the Library to see what's new!

In addition to NPC-developed resources, we've posted other resources and materials in the Library we believe you will find useful (e.g, white papers, links, etc.).

In the member only section, you may search for other members (see People tab) and add additional information to your profile (see My Page tab).

For those of you serving on NPC committees, we have established committee "homes" where you will find meeting announcements, meeting agendas and other related documentation (see Committee tab).

As always, we welcome your feedback so that we can continue to improve this unique NPC resource!

CER: Do Employers Care? What Will They Do?

Employers represent an important segment of health care purchasers, providing health insurance coverage to two-thirds of the U.S. population and funding 40% of prescription drug spending. The survey finds that most employers are aware of CER and believe that findings from such research will help them to improve their health benefits decision making.

We encourage you to share the results of this survey with your colleagues!
