Your success as a manufacturer hinges on your portfolio’s economic and clinical value story. Around the world, payers and providers are under pressure to deliver better health outcomes at lower cost, and in turn they are requiring manufacturers to justify their products’ worth. Incremental enhancements are no longer rewarded with the premiums that have been the norm. The hard truth is that every product will be treated as a commodity until its manufacturer can demonstrate its ability to improve care and drive down costs.
Health technology assessment teams within hospital and payer structures are relying more heavily on comparative effectiveness research and real-world evidence. In addition, these customers frequently have their own data on comparative outcomes and cost. Manufacturers must be able to bring compelling data to the table – data that not only makes a strong case versus similar therapies, but also makes comparisons to non-interventional approaches and considers different treatment protocols. Influencing the development of clinical guidelines is another key step, given how important they are in defining treatment care paths.
