Defining decision-grade real-world evidence and its role in the Canadian context:  A design sprint

As part of our mission to advance population-based research of therapeutic interventions to improve the health outcomes of Canadians, CAPT-ACTP, in conjunction with the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health, Health Canada, and Institute of Health Economics, hosted an October 2018 pre-Annual Conference workshop, Defining “Decision-Grade” RWE and its Role in the Canadian Context: A Design Sprint. The workshop engaged stakeholders to help identify the appropriate use of RWE to support decision-making, both from a regulatory and HTA/payer perspective.
