Stakeholder Actions to generate better RWE for HTA/Payers
In 2020, RWE4Decisions published a paper on the actions that stakeholder groups could undertake to support the use of robust real-world evidence in HTA/Payer decisions about highly innovative technologies. This concerned HTA/Payers, pharmaceutical industry, clinicians, patient groups, disease registry holders, and real-world data (RWD) analytics groups. In view of the changes which have occurred since its writing, a review of this publication is necessary. Based on focus group discussions with each stakeholder group, two multidisciplinary meetings, and a public consultation, we have developed a series of new draft actions.
This paper goes beyond strategic intent to consider actions that regulators, HTA bodies, Payers, clinicians and patients could take to improve the use of real-world data to inform their decision. Case studies of recent Payer/HTA assessments about highly innovative technologies showed that there was a lack of clarity about the Payer/HTA questions that could be answered by RWD and how the quality of real-world evidence (RWE) could be assessed. For each stakeholder group, recommended actions to support the generation, analysis and interpretation of RWD to inform decision-making were developed.
