Value Dossiers

Value Dossiers

What is a Value Dossier?

  • A Value Dossier presents a summary of the clinical, economic, and humanistic value and supporting evidence (studies) for a new product in a disease area as well as background information on that disease (i.e., burden of illness, epidemiology, etc.)
  • The dossier development process involves the creation of value messages, an evaluation of the evidence supporting each of the messages, and identification of evidence GAPs (i.e., need for an economic evaluation).
  • The dossier can also act as a guide to inform future research studies, publication strategies, and other evidence generation activities.

What types of Value Dossiers does HEA develop?

  • Core Value Dossiers: The Core Value Dossier is a comprehensive information resource that presents all supporting evidence of the clinical, economic, and humanistic value for a new intervention as well as the global burden of illness for that particular therapeutic area.  The dossier is developed as an “evolving” document that can serve as a template for customizing submissions to local or national payers (i.e., AMCP dossier, NICE Submission, CADTH submission) and other stakeholders.
  • AMCP Dossiers: The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) Dossier is a pre-specified format for submission of clinical and economic evidence of pharmaceuticals in support of formulary consideration.  The evidence requirements are intended for use by manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, biologics, and vaccines who are responding to an unsolicited request from a healthcare system (in the United States) to support reimbursement and/or formulary placement of a new product, new indication, or new formulation of an existing product.
