Objectives
Diagnostic delay and lack of effective therapies are a major cause of socio-economic burden on rare disease patients and their families. In addition, the management of rare diseases represents a real economic challenge for the health care systems.
The IRDiRC Working Group on Goal 3 was established to identify what are the specific needs, metrics and tools for appropriate data collection and development of methodologies addressing the third goal of IRDiRC: Develop methodologies to assess the impact of diagnosis and therapies on rare disease patients.
