Communicating Value to HTA Bodies

HTA reviewers judge evidence fastest when they can see it, not just read it.

The short version
  • An HTA reviewer isn't short on documents. What she's short on is time to connect a subgroup result on page 40 with the cost-effectiveness claim on page 140.
  • There's a habit in market access of proving thoroughness by adding pages. A wall of tables doesn't help a reviewer judge faster, it just proves the work was done.
  • We turn dense HEOR evidence into a value story that shows the comparison directly. Zero new claims are created, every visual maps back to the approved source data.

HTA reviewers judge evidence fastest when they can see it, not just read it. Here's what we found, and what it means for how you build your next story.

01The reviewer’s actual problem

An HTA reviewer isn’t short on documents. What she’s short on is time to connect the dots between a subgroup result on page 40 and the cost-effectiveness claim on page 140.

languages one approved core is produced in, without restarting the scientific review each time.

Every figure here is independently sourced.

02Dense is not the same as rigorous

There's a habit in market access of proving thoroughness by adding pages. A wall of tables doesn’t help a reviewer form a judgment faster, it just proves the work was done.

03What changes when the data is visual

We turn dense HEOR evidence into a value story that shows the comparison directly. Zero new claims are created in this process, every visual maps back to the approved source data.

04One review, every audience in the room

Building five different explainer decks for five different reviewers means five review cycles. One MLR review can instead cover every journey through the same approved core.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Thorough and legible aren't in competition. A wall of tables proves the work was done; a visual story that shows the comparison directly helps the reviewer form a judgment faster, with every visual mapped back to the approved source data.

Yes, and that's the practical win. Building five explainer decks for five reviewers means five review cycles. One MLR review covers every journey through the same approved core.

Zero. Every visual maps back to the approved source data. What changes is how fast a reviewer can connect the subgroup result on page 40 with the cost-effectiveness claim on page 140.
