Context Matters Blogs
I worked for Context Matters, a pharmaceutical data analytics and technology company, from 2011 until mid-2019 and have written numerous blogs about Health Technology Assessment (HTA) policy and analytics over the years.
NOTE In 2020, old Context Matters blogs were removed from the website. Where possible, I updated the links to point to archived pages. Some, however, appear to be lost for good.
