Payers, policy & prices: a jump on market access for canadian healthcare entrepreneurs

You will find the science determined, ok now what?

Like a startup it may be easy to pay attention to the science until signing an issue, however when you are finally all set to go to promote, have you contemplated the thing you need to become effective? Health technology assessments (HTA), prices, and dealing with payers are key stages in making certain your technology will get where it matters most –to the patients.

Like a healthcare entrepreneur within the pharmaceutical sector, you should develop technologies which are addressing an unmet need and also have the evidence required for market access. It’s also crucial that you begin considering market access before your science will get too much lower the street.

  • Background on every stage of market access:
           – HTA

Treating Canada's Health Care System


Video COMMENTS:

Sean Webb: I love this woman. She is clearly intelligent, articulate and has considered these issues from several different vantage points. However, there are some universal truths that we must acknowledge. Our species has always endured sickness, injuries and death. Science and modern medicine have done great work to reduce the suffering and restore function while extending life. But it will never be entirely eliminated. We're still going to get sick and injured and die. We have and always will debate how much our society through government, public service agencies, employers and non governmental agencies should provide for our citizens and how much they should provide for themselves. It's a question of opportunities and outcomes. And nobody can completely guarantee outcomes. Freedom of choice will continue to be an issue. People will continue to do things that aren't in their best interests. And to some degree we have to allow them to do them. Even if it hurts us to watch them harm themselves. And patients will come looking for miracle cures. Cures free of burdens on their time, financial resources, pain and discomfort. There will always be those who try to manipulate these human failings. How strictly do we regulate these wonder cures? And when can physicians withhold services if they don't think it is in the best interest of the patient?Humans have and always will get sick injured and die. But once medical interventions were offered we introduced liabilities. You were sick and dying when you came in. I prescribed a series of painful and expensive treatments and you are still sick and dying. Maybe to a lesser degree. But now the healthcare system and the government that provides the system is liable for your sickness, suffering and expenses. Doubly so if the condition was made worse.We have tough questions to deal with.

Sergey Zhukovsky: I am not a health care professional and what's below is just my humble opinion on the topic.\nI was very impressed by the Dr. Martin performance at the US Senate committee. Bravo!\nAt the same time I am somewhat skeptical about her “6 big ideas” on improving Canadian Health care system. \n\nBig Idea 1: The return to relationships: Ensure relationship-based primary health care for every Canadian. \nI don't see this as a new idea. Personally, I always had the same family physician who knows everything about my health problems and follows thoroughly with the treatments I have. \n\nBig Idea 2: A nation with a drug problem: Bring prescription drugs under Medicare. \nWouldn't it be great to have universal prescription drugs and, by the way, dental care coverage for everybody?? Of course it would be great! But how realistic is this proposition at the time of galloping health care cost increases at the average annual rate of 7.4% driving the provincial budgets into the wall. If only money grows on trees… \n\nBig Idea 3: Don't just do something, stand there: Reduce unnecessary tests and interventions.\nThere is very little incentive for the doctors to say “no” to unnecessary tests and interventions in the system where the tests and interventions are “free” for both patients and the doctors. If a patient had to pay a small part of the cost he or she would think twice whether he needs it or not. However, I guess the majority of Canadians will be strongly against charging a patient. \n\nBig Idea 4: Doing more with less: Reorganize health care delivery to reduce wait times and improve quality. It also sounds very nice but isn't it exactly what our provincial governments continuously trying to do with a very uneven success? \n\nBig Idea 5: Basic income for basic health: Implement a basic income guarantee. \nIf only money grows on trees, won't it be great to give free money for everybody?? But unfortunately it is not the case. Firstly, how is it honest and fair to tax hardworking people even more and give free money to those who do nothing? Just to save some money on health care? And secondly, if the federal government provides every adult Canadian with a guaranteed basic income of $15,000 a year and every child with $5,000 the cost of the program will be roughly $450 billion. The total federal revenue is currently less than $300 billion. Ah! If only money grows on trees…\n\nBig Idea 6: The anatomy of change: Scale up successful solutions across the country.\nOur health care system is a pure monopoly and the lack of competition makes it hard to improve.

Eason: Very interesting ideas, Dr. Martin is a truly inspiring leader. I truly hope that these ideas will be implemented one day!!

מתן יבגי: i liked the video because her passion is very much needed for the understanding that not all doctors are good people who do the most for their jobs.. the only way to transform them to be better at their job is by providing inceptive by use of competition

chipette: Whoa she's half Middle Eastern/Arab? :O

SilvanaDil: It's undeniable that wait times for "elective" (ha!) surgeries are very long in Canada.\nNeed a knee replacement, ma'am? You can wait 2-3 years (in pain, limited mobility).\nViagra not working, sir? You can wait 2-3 years for a penile implant. (No sex for you!)

Catherine Radke: I read a news article and you were discussing the risk of seizures. Their was a plan but it was dropped. Many did not survive living alone. I do agree however that you have to know how to utilize the services. I can tell you that I had a stroke and almost died from the tremendous care. Now I am a survivor and will help any way I can from home.\nVOLUNTEERS (ONE WORD) NEXT (COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT) Every one should be aware of the types of care that is required during an emergency. Thank you for your honesty.

SilvanaDil: Of course, she wants less imaging. The American population is 9x Canada's, but the number of MRI machines in the U.S. is 45x Canada's. Do Americans overuse? Sure, but underuse is no virtue either.

Vinnie M: She has good ideas, but why would you know my countries stats on who dies waiting, and not your own?

miel: Vinnie M because she's well read and they are no data of Canadian dying due to long wait times. Blame Harvard for doing that research and pusblishing it. You wish you had our health care.
