Healthcare Evidence, Value and Access

We are data-agnostic in our approach and have the capability to build de-novo data assets to support evidence and engagement strategies that support discreet medical and commercial strategies in all therapeutic areas.

The Evolution and Convergence of Evidence and Access

Our client’s Medical and Commercial clients need to be better connected on Therapeutic area strategies and indication needs than ever before. Together, they must accomplish three tasks:

1. generate evidence to understand the disease and a drug’s clinical evidence;
2. create an evidence-based plan (for many markets, a health technology assessment - HTA) and payer value proposition; and
3. deploy robust market access strategies and tactics to ensure uptake and commercial impact across multiple, diverse global markets.

Our HEOR team is experienced in answering the “what” and the “why” to help pharmaceutical companies understand how their drug is performing. Our expert market access team marries agile solutions with rigorous methodologies and delivers a spectrum of analytical tools to suit different commercial decisions – from heavy-duty models to more agile trade-off exercises. They are supported by our syndicated Global Therapy Monitors which supply a plethora of globally consistent, real-world data and therapeutic expertise to support both HEOR and market access initiatives.

Evidence Generation

Evidence Generation covers both disease focus - identifying burden of disease and unmet needs, and drug focus - conducting evidence gap assessment and consulting with manufacturers to address the critical payer questions: Can it work? Is it worth it? Does it work? How will it impact the evolving standards of care?
