Featuring global trends, agile pricing measures and internal collaboration while putting patients at the forefront of our strategies.
The world has seen the major perturbations in 2020 that are affecting all sides and forms of business, healthcare specially. Political, social and economical events are shaping up a new reality for everyone: COVID-19 outbreak, oil industry negotiations and world economic upheaval, Brexit, US and Russian elections, changes in HTA, New Medical Device Regulations just to name a few..

- Market perspective: which innovative agreements and pricing strategies work already and how to demonstrate cost-effectiveness for the reimbursements in value-based contracts.
- Buyer’s perspective: payer-centricity, acquisition and retention through correct pricing strategies, demonstrating value through services, direct-to-customer pricing – is it a reality?
- Corporate perspective: how to enhance the role of the pricing team to accelerate time-to-market, how to achieve pricing excellence in these turbulent times and how to maximise value of your product by effective internal intelligence, data-driven tools and more.

Outcome-based pricing initiatives in the healthcare industry
A distorted reimbursement model has driven healthcare costs ever higher, and elevated healthcare spend to the top budget item for many governments across the globe. But several major industry players have begun to experiment with outcome-based pricing models as an innovative approach to align reimbursements more closely with positive outcomes, while simultaneously bringing greater stability and predictability to pricing in the life science industry.
This paper evaluates the current state of reimbursement models, the adjustments that need to be considered, and methods for reform while offering practical alternatives for both outcome-based pricing and payment methods for all stakeholders in the value chain.
The Evolving Landscape of biosimilars and its impact on the public procurement and tendering environment
Highpoint, an IQVIA company, has conducted various analysis to assess the impact of tenders for biosimilars and observed recent market trends as well as manufacturer behaviors to capture the subtle changes. Our findings translate into a comprehensive view on how companies could improve their bidding and tender strategy to succeed in this space. lastly, we provide our outlook on this topic emphasizing the importance for all stakeholders to find the right balance between cost containment for payers and sustainability for manufacturers to ensure that ultimately, patients and physicians will have multiple treatment options available.
