3 Steps To Capitalize On Real-World Data Under 21st Century Cures11/21/2017Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of prescription drugs and other medical products have been considered the gold standard of evidence to support decision making by clinicians and policymakers. However, it is increasingly recognized that most RCTs are unable to generate information about a product’s real-world effectiveness.

Furthermore, benefit-risk balance and value for money are best learned in cost-effectiveness or cost-benefit analyses.
