Abstract:
The Janssen and Newfoundland and Labrador Health Innovation Partnership (JANL-HIP) was established to carry out Real-World Evidence (RWE) projects to generate evidence about disease pathways, healthcare delivery, the effects of clinical interventions. Doing so will support and influence clinical decision-making in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). This case study describes the foundational elements necessary for a real-world evidence generation project in NL and may provide learning for the effective execution of real-world studies in other jurisdictions. It uses an ongoing project in psoriatic disease in NL to illustrate the partnership and the benefits of RWE studies. Ultimately, the JANL-HIP RWE project aims to inform decisions that will drive improvements in health outcomes, system delivery, and policy mutually beneficial to health ecosystem stakeholders.
