The paper was submitted to JMCP as a Research Brief. They simulated the costs and outcomes of trastuzumab for the treatment of metastatic breast and gastric cancers, under the traditional indication-based pricing (IBP) framework using clinical trials data and the outcomes guarantee framework using data from observational studies.<\/p>\n<p>They found that compared to a outcomes guarantee contract, a traditional IBP would be likely to produce an underpayment for metastatic breast cancer and overpayment for advanced gastric cancer. This research illustrated the potential of an outcomes guarantee framework to achieve prices aligned with real-world value for drugs with multiple indications.<\/p>\n<p>Key Take Away: The policy implication for this research is that payers and manufacturers desiring to implement a value-based purchasing should consider outcomes guarantee contracts when there are analytic resources to support them.<\/p>\n<p>The full paper can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jmcp.org\/doi\/abs\/10.18553\/jmcp.2017.23.10.1010\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Mark\u00a0Bounthavong<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1879 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sop.washington.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bounthavong_Mark-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"157\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bounthavong_Mark-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bounthavong_Mark-731x1024.jpg 731w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bounthavong_Mark-250x350.jpg 250w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bounthavong_Mark-300x420.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bounthavong_Mark-620x868.jpg 620w, https:\/\/staff.washington.edu\/twentzel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bounthavong_Mark.jpg 1463w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 157px) 100vw, 157px\" \/>Mark Bounthavong, 5th year CHOICE PhD candidate, has been nationally recognized by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and was invited to speak on the topic of improving medication safety for veterans.

Through such a process, potential investments can be transparently prioritized to maximize total health impact across disease areas.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to its internal function, IPM was designed to ultimately provide a public good in valuation modeling support to various communities facing global healthcare resources allocation decisions. As part of this aim, the team has collaborated with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. Founded in 2000, Gavi carries a mission to save children\u2019s lives and protect people\u2019s health by increasing equitable use of vaccines in lower-income countries. During the summer of 2017, the IPM team, including START student research assistants, conducted an analysis to assess the health impact of a typhoid conjugate vaccine (TCV) across countries eligible for Gavi support. The analysis contributed to information presented to the World Health Organization and the Gavi Board. In November 2017, Gavi announced its decision to provide $85 million between 2019-2020 to support to use of TCV in eligible countries<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Advance your career in patient-centered outcomes\u00a0research at the University of Washington.
