Leveraging RWE to grow your business with a high-multiple ROI   Market access is a key area for any life sciences company, and developing an evidence generation strategy is paramount for market access success. To help achieve market access success, real world data (RWD) is able to provide direct insight into the daily application of a drug or medical device. Once RWD is gathered, real world evidence (RWE) can be developed to publish your value proposition in the peer-reviewed literature and facilitate payer coverage and key opinion leader (KOL)/provider adoption. When used in an evidence generation strategy, RWE can effectively communicate product value to your desired stakeholders.   Join Baker Tilly for an informative discussion that will examine how life science companies can utilize RWE to demonstrate clinical and economic value and improve your market access strategy. Our team will discuss:   Types of RWE and the advantages of each option  How to effectively communicate product value  Ways RWE can support an evidence generation strategy  The rise of value-based care (VBC) and its connection to RWE  Financial considerations of payers regarding product coverage and adoption  Strategic pricing using RWD analytics  Who should attend?
