SWISS APPROVAL HEALTH CARE & MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT

Value Communication Strategy and Execution.

Aim to devise and execute effectively, an evidence synthesis and communication strategy that will support optimal product price, market access and commercialisation.

Such a strategy, is based on data synthesised with vigorous methodologies, to yield compelling evidence, that will demonstrate to different decision makers, convincingly meaningful, relevant and customised unmet need and incremental product value attained by the system stakeholders, such patients, payers, providers, so as to attain positive appraisals, reimbursement and coverage decisions.
