NICE partners with Flatiron Health to develop real world evidence research methodologies
14 July 2020 - Collaboration will help NICE expand use of real world data in service of better outcomes for UK cancer patients.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence is partnering with Flatiron Health, an oncology research and technology company, to explore how real world evidence can inform the clinical and cost effectiveness of health technologies.
Flatiron Health and NICE experts will together conduct research that leverages Flatiron expertise and evidence generated from Flatiron’s electronic health record derived database; no individual patient data will be shared. An initial research project already underway will compare survival estimates from clinical trials to survival data observed in actual patient records to evaluate opportunities to reduce uncertainty in the estimation of long-term outcomes.
