Description
Summary:The past decade has seen the increasing influence and relevance of real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) in healthcare decision making. The value added by RWD/RWE has prompted the pharmaceutical industry to develop high performing systems and practices to harness the power of evidence generated at the global level. However, this worldwide transformation provides outstanding opportunities to support capability building within local affiliates and to impact key country-level stakeholders through resulting evidence. Therefore, we present an Evidence Blueprint Initiative, which links the global and local (“glocal”) skills, and furthermore addresses the opportunities and gaps in evidence generation capabilities at the local level. Cross-functional experts were recruited at the local, regional, and global level to define best practices. A framework was developed to characterize the foundational expertise needed and to assess markets’ existing capabilities. Subsequently, targeted roadmaps were developed and implemented to build capabilities in specific areas within each affiliate. The impact from the Blueprint is encouraging, resulting in improved local evidence plans, established evidence teams, enhanced RWD use and strategic implementation of patient centric science in local affiliates. The success of the Blueprint resides in empowering affiliates to realise their local evidence generation ambitions and to match them to their local context. It strengthens and expands the ties between various parts of the organisation and the external environment while building fit-for-future evidence capabilities from local affiliates.
