Background And Objective:
Real-world evidence (RWE) can complement and fill knowledge gaps from randomized controlled trials to assist in health-technology assessment (HTA) for regulatory decision-making. However, the generation of RWE is an intricate process with many sequential decision points, and different methods and approaches may impact the quality and reliability of evidence. Standardization and transparency in reporting these decisions is imperative to appraise RWE and incorporate it into HTA decision-making. A partnership between Canadian health system stakeholders, namely, Health Canada and Canada's Drug Agency (formerly the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health), was established to develop guidance for the standardization of reporting of RWE for regulatory and HTA decision-making in Canada.
Study Design And Setting:
A collaborative initiative to create structured guidance for RWE reporting in the context of regulatory and HTA decision-making.
Results:
The developed guidance aims to standardize and ensure transparent reporting of RWE to improve its reliability and usefulness in regulatory and HTA processes.
Conclusion:
This guidance can be adapted for other jurisdictions and will have future extensions to incorporate emerging issues with RWE and HTA decision-making.

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

01:20Introduction to Documentation and Reporting
Nursing documentation records essential information and details regarding a patient's care and treatment in written or electronic form. It is a critical aspect of nursing practice that involves documenting assessments, interventions, outcomes, and other relevant details about a patient's health status.
Documentation maps the patient's health journey by creating a comprehensive...
