Description of the article
Real-world evidence is not always readily accepted by agencies responsible for reimbursement and pricing for new pharmaceuticals. This paper describes how the researchers tackled the vast literature base and used key stakeholder engagement and case studies to produce recommendations. Using a pragmatic and iterative approach allowed us to develop practical tools in a timely manner, which can support improvements in this area.
