Presentations demonstrate how to employ real-world evidence to compare the cost-effectiveness and therapeutic benefit of different medical interventions
PRINCETON, NJ – Nov. 1, 2019 – Certara®, the global model-informed drug development and decision support leader, today announced that thought leaders from its Evidence & Access division will present 12 posters at ISPOR Europe. Those scientific posters cover a range of cutting-edge topics, including the use of real-world evidence in clinical decision-making, healthcare costs aligned to increased biosimilar uptake, and the performance of predictive algorithms versus data quality. This year’s conference will be held from Nov. 2-6 at the Bella Center in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes (ISPOR) is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) excellence to improve healthcare decisions.
“The pressure is increasing for biopharmaceutical and medtech companies to clearly demonstrate the value of their therapies or technologies in terms of cost savings and improved patient quality of life compared with other available options. Certara partners with global clients to help them effectively demonstrate and communicate that real-world value. We also work with payers to identify equitable payment strategies to ensure that patients can gain access to the best treatments, leveraging our Compass Expert Panel™ comprised of vetted decision makers from health plans, pharmacy benefit managers, care delivery systems, specialty societies, and government organizations,” said Thomas Kerbusch, PhD, President of Certara Strategic Consulting.
Certara Evidence & Access leverages global population health intelligence to generate the highest level of scientific evidence of the real-world value of medicines and health technologies. Then, its BaseCase technology platform allows clients to communicate that value to payers, providers, and healthcare professionals. They can perform real-time data visualizations on the BaseCase platform during their meetings using data derived from integrated spreadsheets, datasets and R scripts.
Certara experts will be available to discuss market access and value strategies, decision analytics and modeling, real-world evidence solutions, and innovative contracts in booth #C2-020. Demonstrations will also be given of the BaseCase value communications platform.
