Company wished to rapidly understand whether their recently launched product demonstrated effectiveness in the real-world
Given the required timeframe, concluded that generating new data/prospective study was not feasible. Hence, shortlisted potential databases/registries already licensed that would have the required patient exposure and outcomes of interest. Analysed company’s existing UK THIN and US Truven MarketScan databases using R
Completed preliminary analysis in two weeks, providing rapid guidance on further activities and study designs
Company wished to develop a user-friendly budget impact model for a primary care asset to support field team meetings with payers/KOLs
Brainstormed the pros vs cons of Excel vs iPad/online application, and decided on an Excel model that was easy-to-follow and incorporated calculations in a transparent manner. Developed model in partnership with internal team based on feedback, and rolled out to field team via training workshop
Used in meetings with customers the day after Zinc approval with positive feedback from field team
Company unsatisfied with lack of transparency and functionality with currently available IRP models
Worked with the team to identify end goals and key outputs for the IRP tool. Developed the model calculations in R with a user-friendly web-based front-end in R-Shiny. Rolled out the model alongside basic R language training for easy-querying of the calculations
Client team was very satisfied with transparency and functionality of the tool, enabling better understanding of underlying rationale for price changes
