Guest Editorial: Articles selected from the 2020 International Conference on Health Policy Statistics

Abstract

With the theme "Leveraging Data to Shape the Future", the conference featured an ambitious program covering a broad range of topics (https ://ww2.amsta t.org/meeti ngs/ichps /2020/onlin eprog ram/index .cfm). Conference speakers were invited to submit manuscripts for selection into a special issue of Health Services and Outcomes Research Methodology, with us (OH and CC) serving as guest coeditors. After a peer review process, fifteen articles were selected and are appearing in the December 2020 and March 2021 issues of the journal. These articles showcase the people, methods and applications that characterize the ICHPS conference series.
