Evidence Synthesis, Modeling & Communication
Specializing in evidence, value and access
The payer landscape is continuing to change and while the industry is rich with new technological and scientific innovations, healthcare budgets are stretched. Payers are increasing the evidence requirements for demonstration of a product’s value and its potential significance in both investigational and real-world practice settings. To address payer concerns and achieve favorable and timely coverage/reimbursement decisions, a coherent and connected value story, supported by strong economic evidence, must be carefully crafted and articulated.
We specialize in evidence, value and access. Our Evidence Synthesis, Modeling & Communication group of more than 160 scientists, statisticians, modelers and consultants work as an integrated team to develop a convincing body of evidence and create a unified value story for your product.
We understand creating this story requires:
- A thorough understanding and alignment on your products’ key value messages
- Convincing underlying economic evidence
- A comprehensive strategy to achieve market access
- The ability to address the requirements and nuances of individual markets
Transforming evidence into value
We work with you to evaluate and customize each research program to yield an evidence package that will meet payer requirements and support optimal product positioning and differentiation. On average, we complete more than 15 integrated, product-specific research programs per year and have contributed to more than 130 health technology assessment (HTA) submissions in the past five years, contributing to the reversal, fast-tracking and influencing of multiple National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) decisions.
An approach that extends beyond typical, tactical submission components
While the core components of a payer submission typically include health economic models, literature reviews, indirect treatment comparisons and global value and HTA dossier preparations, we leverage our deep experience and senior scientists to go beyond these traditional core studies where needed. We regularly recommend and implement additional studies that may be needed to fill evidence gaps and support product value.
