The document discusses SURE, a secure remote-access computing environment developed by the Sax Institute to facilitate analysis of large longitudinal datasets while maintaining privacy and security. SURE allows approved researchers to access de-identified unit-level data from sources like health registries and surveys within a controlled virtual workspace. Over 170 researchers across several countries are currently using SURE, which supports collaboration and analysis of datasets too large to move. SURE balances researcher access needs with protecting data privacy and custodian responsibilities.
Outcomes research examines the effects of healthcare treatments and services on individuals and populations. It provides evidence about decisions made in healthcare. The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) funds comparative clinical research focused on outcomes important to patients, with the goal of improving healthcare quality and relevance. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) also funds outcomes research to improve safety and quality, and helps implement research findings into practice. While outcomes research can improve care and patient satisfaction, it also requires significant funding and time, and changing practice based on results can be difficult.
The document discusses the emerging field of precision medicine and how it represents a shift from symptom-based to evidence-based to personalized medicine. Precision medicine utilizes large datasets including multi-omics data, imaging, and other clinical data combined with machine learning algorithms and reference databases to generate personalized molecular profiles and enable targeted prevention and treatment. Key to realizing precision medicine's potential is establishing standards, processes, and reference databases to facilitate large-scale data analysis and ensure results can be reproduced.
Providing actionable healthcare analytics at scale: Understanding improvement...Nuffield Trust
This document discusses measurement for quality improvement. It explains that measurement in improvement aims to provide a basis for action to improve processes and outcomes, rather than just estimating parameters. Improvement measures should be simple, specific, and available in real-time. Statistical process control methods are important to separate normal variation from changes resulting from interventions. Examples are provided of run charts measuring improvements in recording BMI for mental health patients and compliance with care bundles. The document advocates making the theories behind improvement efforts more explicit.

The TB Alliance is a nonprofit organization developing new treatments for tuberculosis (TB). It has built the largest portfolio of TB drug candidates in history, with three in late-stage clinical trials. Current TB treatments are long and ineffective against drug-resistant strains. The TB Alliance aims to develop shorter, simpler, and more effective TB therapies to address this urgent global health need. However, increased funding is needed to advance its pipeline of potential new TB drugs and treatments.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
