We ask critical questions about how your product might re-direct current practices toward care that improves the lives of patients – the same questions payers and providers would ask. Types of projects we have engaged in to demonstrate the clinical utility have included:
- Health economics and outcomes research
- Medical management impact studies
- Clinical decision analyses
- Comparative effectiveness studies
Examples of applications include:
- A questionnaire-based study that quantifies changes in medical management of inflammatory bowel disease associated with use of a novel test that measures antibodies to medication
- Analysis of a secondary claims database to quantify changes in chemotherapy-related decisions after institutional adoption of a novel diagnostic test in breast cancer patients
- Aggregation of findings related to pain, LOS, and costs from multiple small, single-institution studies describing efficacy of a novel analgesic agent,
