Development of the Philippine guidance document for the use of real-world evidence for clinical assessment of health technologies.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Under the Universal Health Care Act of the Philippines, all health technologies should undergo health technology assessment. This manuscript details the process of the development of the Philippine guidance document for the use of real-world evidence (RWE) in the clinical evaluation of health technologies.

Methods

This study consisted of two phases. Phase 1 was a comprehensive, systematic review of all available HTA methods guides and literature related to the use of RWE in the clinical evaluation of health technologies. Based on the results of the review, a draft HTA methods guide on the use of RWE was created. Phase 2 was a validation study by expert consultation through key informant interviews (KIIs), and pilot assessment of the methods guide.
