What’s Next in US Payor Communications: The Impact of FDA's Proposed Guidance...Nathan White, CPC
The recent enactment of the 21st Century Cures Act has profound immediate and long-term implications for development and communication of HEOR/RWE in the US, particularly in relation to communications with payors about healthcare economic information (HCEI). In January, the FDA released draft guidance for public comment to outline its thinking around communication to payors of HCEI, but there are still unanswered questions to be addressed in the final guidance. Industry will need to quickly establish new policies and procedures to maintain compliance with the new regulations, especially in relation to OPDP submission requirements – a steep transition from a space that has largely been unregulated.
Policy Implications of Healthcare Associated InfectionsAlbert Domingo
On February 19, 2014 at the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health in Pasig City, Dr. Albert Domingo presented an introduction to the economic impact of healthcare associated infections (HAIs) as well as related concepts in health policy and management. The speaker discussed common approaches taken to ascertain the economic impact of HAIs, followed by factors/considerations in Philippine health policy and management that must be understood and adjusted in order to minimize HAIs.
On 31 October 2019, Adrian Towse and Chris Henshall from the Office of Health Economics (OHE) presented at the G20 meeting on antimicrobial drugs R&D in Paris organised by the Wellcome Trust. The topic of their presentation was HTA and payment mechanisms for new drugs to tackle antimicrobial resistance.
This presentation looks at ways in which governments can set prices, including “cost plus”, value, and the external referencing of prices elsewhere. It looks at the role that competition can play in keeping down prices. In that context it briefly discusses pricing proposals being considered in Malaysia. It makes the case for using HTA to inform pricing decisions.

This presentation defines RWD and RWE in the context of digital health, and looks at potential uses for RWD and RWE. It briefly sets out the current landscape in Malaysia and looks at the challenges in using RWE. In particular, the issues of access, governance and ensuring good quality are considered.
The aim of this educational symposium was to discuss why we should seek value across the health care system and how we can apply existing research methods to measure the value of services. While considerable political attention in developed countries continues to be focused on drug spending, there is also growing awareness of the significant contribution of non-drug components of health care (e.g., hospital services and inefficient care delivery) to overall spending growth and patient affordability. At the same time, there is growing interest in making greater use of value assessment and value-based payment to control spending and better align it with care quality. In order to promote greater value, and to do so in ways that respond to the needs of payers and patients, it is essential to assess value across both drug- and non-drug interventions and health care services. This panel will offer expert viewpoints to identify and discuss gaps in value information, rationale and approaches to track and reduce system-wide low value care, and research methods for how to measure health care services.

Graham participated in an organised session on Monday July 15th 2019. In the session he presented his paper with his co-author Ioannis Laliotis from the London School of Economics. The paper revisits the relationship between workforce and maternity outcomes in the English NHS in an attempt to contribute knowledge to an important policy question for which there has been a paucity of research.
This research explores the feasibility of introducing an Outcome-Based Payment approach for new cancer drugs in England. A literature review explored the current funding landscape in England, the available evidence on existing OBP schemes internationally, and
which outcomes cancer patients value most. Two focus groups and an online survey with patients and carers, as well as interviews with NHS and government stakeholders, healthcare
professionals, and pharmaceutical industry representatives, provided additional evidence on the feasibility and suitability of OBP schemes

Assessing the Life-Cycle Value Added of Second Generation Antipsychotics in S...Office of Health Economics
This research presented in a poster at HTAi 2019, Cologne (Germany) by a team of OHE and IHE researchers, estimates the value added by second generation antipsychotics over their life-cycle in the UK and Sweden. It concludes that considering the entire life-cycle, the value added by SGAs to the system is higher than the expected value estimated at launch. P&R decisions should consider how to measure, capture and take into account the value added by medicines over the long-run.

This study aims to guide access decisions and drive the discussion on access and price, through recognition of the dynamic nature of value added by pharmaceutical innovation over the long-run. The analysis of the life-cycle value of risperidone estimates the value generated in the UK and Sweden. Results show that health systems were able to appropriate most of the life-cycle value generated, and this is larger than estimated at launch.

The Value of Knowing and Knowing the Value: Improving the Health Technology Assessment of Complementary Diagnostics
1. The Value of Knowing and Knowing the Value:
Improving the Health Technology Assessment of
Complementary Diagnostics
Lou Garrison*, Jorge Mestre-Ferrandiz and Bernarda Zamora**; *University of
Washington **Office of Health Economics
Contact details: jmestre-ferrandiz@ohe.org
1. BACKGROUND
• Two developments related to medical diagnostics motivate
this work:
• 1) a growing recognition that medical diagnostics are used
in a range of clinically different applications, and
• 2) a growing appreciation that the traditional framework
and metrics applied in the HTA of medicines and devices
may overlook or undervalue important elements of value
provided by diagnostics—in particular, value related the
diagnostic information itself
• We focus: “complementary diagnostics” - no generally
accepted or official definition of complementary diagnostics
• We build on existing ones
• Recognising that (1) predicting disease progression (i.e.,
prognostic use) is a diagnostic application, and (2) viewing
companion diagnostics as a subset of complementary
diagnostics
Acknowledgements

2. AIMS
1. To identify the currently applied practices by HTA bodies for
complementary diagnostics, identify the gaps and
deficiencies, and propose recommendations to improve such
practices
2. To review, in particular, approaches for addressing the lack
of attention in current applied HTA practices to measuring
the value of knowing (or of greater certainty) delivered by
diagnostics
3. METHODS
Two steps:
1. Systematic literature review which summarises different
proposed value frameworks and specific valuations for
complementary diagnostics
2. Health economic evaluation of three complementary
diagnostics presented by two HTA agencies (NICE, HAS),
where available
4.RESULTS
5. POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
Change in evidentiary requirements:
• Evidence of clinical utility: more comprehensive
perspective
• Source of evidence: assess the use of “coverage with
evidence development” agreements
Change in the reimbursement to value-based pricing:
• Reimbursement of complementary diagnostics should
account for the all the elements of value
• Cost-effectiveness can be adapted and/or augmented to
consider additional elements of value - contingent
valuation of other specific elements such as the value of
reducing uncertainty or the value of hope
• Explore how to divide the value (between diagnostic and
therapy, when there is one) to promote dynamic efficiency
Incentives to uptake of complementary diagnostics
• Monitor the uptake of complementary diagnostics, with
routine collection and publication of data
• Ongoing, repeated validation of diagnostics, leveraging
technological enhancements
Equity issues
• Measure barriers and challenges across EU
• Understand the implications of the different perspectives
(health care or societal) on HTA processes
6. CONCLUSION
• The full value that well-validated complementary
diagnostics can bring to patient care is underappreciated in
healthcare systems around the world
• A comprehensive consideration of these distinct elements
of value is a prerequisite to the realisation of the promise
of personalised medicine
• As healthcare systems evolve more accountability for
outcomes and move to value-based reimbursement, the
framework described here should provide a sounder basis
for the HTA of complementary diagnostics as well as for
appropriate reimbursement and rewards for innovation
Elements of value for complementary diagnostics
Light blue circle:
traditional elements of
value as considered by
HTA
Dark blue circle:
expanded value
framework: elements
not traditionally
considered/measured
Blue line: value from
health system
perspective
Red line: value also
included in societal
perspective
• Ten elements of value for complementary diagnostics:
largely independent and additive, and aggregable at a
societal level
• However, distinct conceptual measures could be
measured with the same instrument
• Any specific assessment of value should not double-count
effects
• Questions about the weighting, measurability, and
commensurability of the elements are separate issues,
and are not addressed in this White Paper
• Identified several other, less recognised, elements related
to the value of information
• Can apply to medical technologies more generally and
may not be as closely linked to diagnostics as is the
reduction in uncertainty apparent with companion
diagnostics
