22 June 2017 - Responds to public comment and sets key parameters for evidence review methods and process for stakeholder engagement.

Following a second cycle of public comment, the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) has posted the final statement of its current update to the ICER Value Assessment Framework. The Value Assessment Framework is the conceptual framework and set of associated methods that guides ICER’s development of reports on tests, treatments, and delivery system innovations. Linked to the framework, and discussed as part of this update, are the procedures for stakeholder engagement and public deliberation that are critical to the development of every ICER report and underpin its broader effort to help work towards a health system in which patients can have sustainable access to high-value care. 

This update will form the foundation of report development from 2017-2019. ICER plans a regular update cycle for its value framework every two years.
