/
/ -- Later this week, Cardinal Health Specialty Solutions will present a new series of health economic outcomes research (HEOR) studies that reinforce the importance of evaluating real-world treatment patterns when developing value-based reimbursement strategies.
Dr.
Bruce Feinberg
, vice president and chief medical officer of Cardinal Health Specialty Solutions, says that physicians, payers and pharmaceutical companies alike have known for more than a decade that clinical trials alone do not accurately reflect how cancer treatment happens in the real world. Feinberg maintains that payers are seeing this disparity, and are adjusting reimbursement strategies as a result.
"With an increased focus on value-based care, which relies on real-world clinical evidence, clinical trial data no longer provides enough information to develop appropriate reimbursement models," said Feinberg. "This new research reinforces that HEOR data can help payers better understand the effectiveness of treatments in real-world settings; and that it can be used to better determine value-based reimbursement strategies."
Over the past year, Cardinal Health Specialty Solutions has published numerous studies on real-world treatment patterns in leukemia and lymphoma care; and the economic impact of that care on patients.
Building upon this body of work
, Cardinal Health Specialty Solutions will publish a new set of clinical studies focused on renal cell carcinoma at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting
May 29- June 2, 2015
in Chicago.
