Real-world evidence: experiences and challenges for decision making in Latin America.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The Health Technology Assessment (HTA) process aims to optimize health system funding of technologies. In recent years there has been an increase in what is known as Real-World Evidence (RWE) as a complement to clinical trials. The objective of Health Technology Assessment International's Latin American Policy Forum 2022 was to explore the utility of incorporating RWE into HTA and decision-making processes in the region.

Methods

This article is based on a background document, survey, and the deliberative work of the country representatives who participated in the Forum.

Results

There is a growing interest in the use of Real-World Data / Real-World Evidence in HTA processes in Latin America, although currently there are no specific local guidelines for RWE us
