COMING UP
Design Lab to sharpen focus on 2022 priorities
Two areas of strategic importance are emerging as top priorities for 2022: the Precision Reimbursement and Predictive Outcomes Platform innovation pillars:
- The Precision Reimbursement pilots will demonstrate: 1) the power of aligning incentives across stakeholders to fuel better use of high quality evidence that already exists, and 2) how to generate new RWE needed to optimize treatment regimens.
- LEAPS is prototyping key elements of a Predictive Outcomes Platform to identify clinically meaningful patient sub-populations of a target disease, and the associated predictive features that support the targeted use of drug therapy regimens for optimal treatment outcomes.
The LEAPS Design Lab will be held online November 30–December 1. By invitation only.
