Evidence OSMedical evidence & research
Payers, policy & guideline groups

Is the evidence ready for a coverage, policy or guideline decision?

Choose the decision you are preparing: assess a service, compare policy options or update a guideline question. Then see the scope, example deliverables and indicative budget, and submit a free request. Formal work and fees are agreed separately.

Choose the deliverable you need

Inspect the value and deliverables, then agree scope, review and fees.

01 · DEDICATED

Decision appraisal

Effects, costs and implementation conditions are difficult to compare.

Core valueCompare effects, costs and the assumptions behind conclusions.
What you receiveCompare options under explicit assumptions and identify uncertainty.
  • Comparative effects and evidence-certainty table
  • Parameter sources and budget or option model
  • Implementation, applicability and equity conditions

Report, tables and agreed model; assumptions and parameters are reviewable.

How fees workPayer evidence package: CNY 200,000–500,000 reference; full HTA separately scoped

Quote stages by product, comparator, region and model depth; accept scope, draft and final delivery separately.

Scope limits

Excludes coverage or procurement outcomes and new clinical trials.

02 · CUSTOM

Living decision evidence

After a baseline appraisal, when does new evidence require reconsideration?

Core valueExplain when material changes justify reappraisal.
What you receiveTrack defined questions and explain what changes the prior appraisal.
  • Incremental evidence register and reasons for change
  • Agreed model or evidence-table updates
  • Reappraisal triggers and decision memo

Accept by cadence and questions; record when no material change occurs.

How fees workScoped annual service from CNY 300,000 reference

Requires a usable baseline; contract questions, cadence, full-text limits and model updates, payable quarterly.

Scope limits

Excludes a new baseline HTA and unlimited model rebuilding.

Amounts are proposed references or examples. Formal quotes depend on inputs, questions, professional review and acceptance scope. Agree updates separately; the same work is not charged twice.

Coverage value and budget assessment

The report says it works. What about the comparison and budget?

You will receive

Comparative-effect tables, parameter sources and a budget model, or quarterly change logs. Observed data, assumptions and local gaps are separate for the assessment team to review.

Explore the scope

For a new product or service, check comparative effects, cost inputs and budget scenarios. If an assessment and model already exist, choose monitoring within an agreed scope.

Quoted by task and scope

Policy comparison and ongoing support

Both proposals sound good. Which conditions matter?

You will receive

An option comparison, implementation conditions, an equity matrix and pilot measures, or quarterly change briefs and meeting questions. Sources and disagreements remain visible.

Explore the scope

Compare two options for one regional question, checking resources, access barriers and equity. For recurring topics throughout the year, choose quarterly evidence briefs and a defined support-hour pool.

Guideline question updates and monitoring

Which recommendation needs revisiting, and what evidence changed?

You will receive

Updated searches, evidence and certainty tables, and recommendation discussion materials, or a memo on affected questions and update triggers. The authorized group makes the final recommendations.

Explore the scope

If a suitable baseline review exists and a question needs updating, explore the question-level evidence package. For a published guideline, explore quarterly monitoring of update triggers. A complete new review requires a separate scope.

THE BASIS FOR THIS SCOPE

Why this approach? Inspect the basis.

Institutional decisions require effect evidence, resources, implementation conditions and local applicability.

OFFICIAL GUIDANCE

WHO Guidelines

World Health Organization

Inspect public-health and clinical guidance

Find WHO guidelines and review the recommendation questions, evidence base and intended settings.

Scope & access conditions

Global guidance is not evidence of local implementation outcomes. Check population, resources, policy and timing.

PUBLIC DATABASE

Cochrane

Cochrane

Read systematic reviews and plain-language summaries

Explore a question’s research synthesis and the confidence researchers have in the findings.

Scope & access conditions

Plain-language summaries are public; full-review access varies. Applicability still depends on the population and question.

Open official source
METHOD REFERENCE

GRADE · Cochrane Handbook

Cochrane · Chapter 14

Show effect size and confidence separately

Present important outcomes, relative and absolute effects, available data and certainty, with reasons for downgrading.

Scope & access conditions

GRADE evaluates a body of evidence for a particular outcome. Database inclusion or one study does not automatically establish high certainty.

Open official source

These references support problem definition and evidence appraisal. Your conclusions still require project-specific sources and professional review.
