Expert HEOR services

With over 800 projects in HEOR communications under our belt, and a highly-skilled HEOR writing and project management team, Rx Communications stands ready to help you communicate value effectively to your stakeholders, whether they're payers, clinicians or patients.

Expertise and quality at the
heart of everything we do

When it comes to getting you published nothing can substitute for an highly skilled and experienced team. We take a bespoke approach to all our client's projects and allocate the best team to get the job done.

Extensive health economics medical writing experience

When the first PharmacoEconomics journal was launched in 1992, our CEO was one of the earliest and most regular contributors. With her enthusiasm and background, Rx Communications naturally specialised in this area. Over 800 HEOR projects later and with many HE-experienced writers, Rx Communications can truly claim to be the ideal partner in this communications field.

Effective communicators of outcomes research

We have extensive expertise in communicating comparative value (e.g. cost-effectiveness, health-related quality of life etc.) of products across various therapeutic areas. We translate economic modelling into perceptible real-world outcomes, and effectively communicate this to key stakeholders by creating abstracts, posters, manuscripts, value dossiers, and more. We make HEOR data accessible.

Accurate, reliable synthesis of evidence-based data

We are effective at synthesising clinical, outcomes, and health economics-based data and interpreting this for our clients through systematic and targeted literature reviews. We employ rigorous methodologies, ensuring that our clients have the best information to support their products.

Experts at communicating clinical and economic value

Agencies often misunderstand HEOR, hindering effective communication about its significance. As a MedComms agency specialising in HEOR, Rx Communications has dedicated writers and health economists who understand how to communicate the economic and clinical value of interventions and provide effective support for publications.

An agency that understands HEOR

Our team includes experienced health economists and outcomes medical writers. We develop content that is evidence-based, accurate, and comprehensive. We draw on evidence-based sources, including economic modelling, real-world evidence, and literature reviews, to create credible and persuasive messaging

Knowledge across multiple therapeutic areas

Competent and knowledgeable medical writers in varied therapeutic areas are critical in developing evidence-based publications. With HEOR evidence, you need writers who are competent in HEOR and in the therapy area - these people are rare. If necessary, we will team up writers to ensure both HEOR and therapy area experience is at your service.

Flexibility and commitment

Our flexible resource allocation is designed to meet your specific needs, scaling up or down as timelines and budgets allow, while remaining fully committed to supporting your product. We have regular client contact and can adapt to any wind-change that might eventuate during the process.

Literature Reviews

We provide effective literature reviews that meet the highest scientific standards. Each review is tailored to meet your needs and objectives. Whether it is systematic or comprehensive, tailored or ultra-specific, we deliver to your specifications, all the while ensuring we are compliant with good research standards. Our work will stand up to the most rigorous scrutiny. Click here for more detail on our literature review service.

Handling payer advisory boards

Advisory boards can be a valuable tool for identifying evidence gaps and improving the company understanding the needs of key stakeholders. We can recruit key opinion leaders, help prepare materials for advisory boards, facilitate the meeting and write up the results. We offer support wherever it is needed.

Model validation

Validation ensures all models are fit for purpose and the data are transparent and accurate. Our model validation process provides a comprehensive review of the model's assumptions, inputs, and outputs; giving you the peace of mind that the data underpinning your product are reliable.

Evidence gap analysis

Identifying the evidence gaps in the value story for a product is essential, as it reveals the likelihood of the product achieving regulatory or payer approval, and ultimately market access. While few, if any value stories are complete in all aspects, evidence gap analysis will show where gaps may be relatively easy to fill - perhaps a clearer recognition of burden of illness or unmet needs, a cost-effectiveness model tweak - we can perform the literature searches and data analysis to show where issues lie.

Value Dossiers

We provide comprehensive, evidence-based value dossiers that are tailored to meet the needs of different stakeholders; these include payers, healthcare providers and patients. Our structured approach ensures that all necessary information is included and that the dossier is well-organised and easy to navigate. If you prefer an interactive presentation of value, we can do that too.
