DEVELOPING TALENT GROWING VENTURES OPENING MARKETS Our Future Matters April 2015 Poor pre-market quality clinical trial produces uncertainty Accuracy versus clinical utility for diagnostic tests No prospective economic analysis Research failed to address health system perspectives Me-too technologies Lack of generalizability Inadequate trial design e.g. randomization, concealment, ITT – leading to low quality evidence Policy including non-affordability, competing pressures Evidence used to police adoption in isolation from originators of innovation Is HTA’s placement too late?
Pre-Market Partnership formed April 2012 between government, OHTAC, the health system, regulators, academia, clinicians and industry in selection by the health system and protocol design by all Studies funded by industry Streamlines path to adoption of disruptive technologies through a single harmonized process that meets regulatory and reimbursement requirements Process includes evaluation, systematic review, economic analysis and “conditions of adoption” analysis Housed at MaRS, a neutral innovation space (MaRS) which provides flow- through of funds, secretariat, coordinating and quality support Executed by 4 academic Methodology Centres working with 24 Research Hospitals EXCITE Overview Excellence in Clinical Innovation and Technical Evaluation
