1. “Real-world evidence (RWE) has the potential to be a transformative tool for healthcare providers to enhance the care they deliver to patients.”
2. “Ultimately, RWE has the potential to bridge the divide between evidence and practice due to the power of where the insight is generated and its applicability to the real world.Rather than an amalgam of patients treated in a wide variety of modalities (i.e., claims), newer forms of RWE are developed from the record of the care decisions documented by a specific set of providers, for their particular patient populations.”
3. “Providers can use newer forms of RWE not just to publish influential research, but also to develop specific, targeted insights into care gaps within their own systems that may be addressed to improve patient care quality, and then be able to track the impact of their efforts in real time.”
4. “As providers have sought to minimize the impact of the pandemic on patient outcomes, particularly in disproportionately impacted communities, RWE has been used to effectively direct resources to the areas of most acute need.”
5. “In summary, while RWE has already proven its value in adding to the scientific record, newer forms of RWE hold unique promise in supporting targeted interventions to impact patient care, particularly in light of the key learnings from the impact of COVID-19 on patient care.I believe that in the next few years, we will see more and more of the provider community adopt this approach, and I am excited to see the future that it will unlock.”
