COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS RESEARCH
Systematic literature reviews
- Meta analyses
- Traditional (frequentist) and Network (Bayesian)
- Analysis of randomized clinical trial (RCT) data
Advanced Data Analytics
- Statistical design of studies
- Hypothesis testing
- Regression analysis
- Analysis of variance
- Nonparametric statistics

Modeling
- Economic modeling – both early stage and product launch models (including HTA submission models)
- Cost effectiveness (CE)
- Cost utility (denominator of CE ratio is utility-based measure [QALYs])
- Cost benefit (benefits converted to purely monetary terms)
- Cost minimization (interventions assumed equally efficacious, which has least cost?)
- Budget impact (BI)
- Epidemiological models
- Process modeling – evaluation of the delivery of health care services from a health care provider system perspective
- Resource planning
- Optimization
- Leveraging economic and process models to inform launch strategy including product pricing, indication prioritization, market selection, etc.
- Quality control audits of existing models
Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Submission Support (e.g., NICE [UK], ICER [US])
- Partner with clients in preparation of HTA submission materials
- Economic expert representation at appraisal meetings
- Part of rapid response client support team for HTA inquiries post submission
Dossiers – Health Technology Assessment (HTA) and Reimbursement
- Global
- US-focused (e.g., Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy [AMCP]) and other specific focus
Publications/communications
- abstracts/posters/manuscripts
- slide decks
- development of iPad (and other mobile device hardware) applications
Management of relationships between client and third-party organizations (TPOs)
- Due to contracting process inefficiencies or client procurement department prohibitions, more efficient for MDM to subcontract directly with TPO
