PCORI needs your help: launching ad hoc workgroups on March 1 -seek input from the healthcare community

PCORI logo
February 27, 2013
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) needs your help as we launch a series of ad hoc workgroups on March 1 to seek input from the healthcare community on refining our initial set of targeted research topics for funding.
The workgroups, made up of researchers, patients, and other stakeholders, will meet one time each in March and April. They will provide input to our staff and Board of Governors on the critical research questions that should be answered within each of the five topics, which are:
Each workgroup's proceedings will be open to the public via webinar/teleconference. We welcome your comments and suggested research questions via email (targetedPFAworkgroup@pcori.org) and Twitter (@PCORI). We also welcome comments, suggestions, and input from interested individuals for up to two weeks before and after each meeting through our website. You'll find a full list of workgroup meetings and information on how submit input and register for their associated webinars on our site's events page.
Our Board approved the development of five targeted funding announcements at its November 2012 meeting. Three topics were identified at that time and two more were identified in January. This accelerated approach to the development of targeted funding announcements will jump-start our long-term strategy to generate and prioritize specific research topics, starting with questions solicited directly from patients and stakeholders.
We hope you take the opportunity to participate in one of our workgroup meetings. Your input is critical to our mission to help people make informed health care decisions, and improve health outcomes.

IOM Report Calls For Tracking System To Fight Counterfeit Drug Trade.


The AP (2/14, Neergaard) reports that the Institute of Medicine on Wednesday released a report that concludes, tackling the "problem of fake drugs will require creating a national drug-tracking system." The IOM's report calling "for putting medications through a chain of custody like US courts require for evidence in a trial comes a week after the Food and Drug Administration warned doctors, for the third time in about a year, that it discovered a counterfeit batch of the cancer drug Avastin [bevacizumab] that lacked the real tumor-killing ingredient."

        NPR (2/13, Knox) in its "Shots" blog reports that the "National Academies of Science, of which the IOM is part, was commissioned by the Food and Drug Administration to look at how to protect people against fake and substandard drugs." According to the report, the problem "extends to more than 120 countries...and has done incalculable damage to efforts to control tuberculosis, malaria, AIDS and other diseases."

        The Wall Street Journal (2/14) "Corporate Intelligence" notes that the IOM report also emphasized that oversight of prescription drug wholesalers needs to be strengthened.

        AFP (2/14, Santini) adds that FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg "commended the report" and the agency is already implementing many of its suggestions. "To meet the challenges of today's global marketplace, the FDA is transforming from a predominantly domestically focused agency to one that is fully prepared to help ensure product safety and quality within a globalized world," Dr. Hamburg said in a statement.

        However, according to The Hill (2/14, Wilson) "Regwatch" blog, "Members of Congress want to create legislation to increase the crackdown and oversight effort." Rep. Henry Waxman (R-CA), the "ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee" said "I hope we can pass a law at the federal level that provides the same level of protection as California's model legislation," which requires "individual units of drugs to be accounted for at each step along the supply chain."
        Modern Healthcare (2/13, Zigmond, Subscription Publication), HealthDay (2/14, Gardner) and MedPage Today (2/14, Pittman) also cover the reports, which is titled, "Countering the Problem of Falsified and Substandard Drugs."

A new model of surgery for 2030: De-skilled, decentralized and device-driven


What’s the vision of medical device firms as they innovate for a new model of care, not just in the U.S. but globally?

What they see, according to a new report, is a two-tiered healthcare system that’s demanding more sophisticated, efficient devices for surgeries and, at the same time, more simple devices that can be used by patients, or “consumers.” Technology design and development firm Cambridge Consultants hosted a workshop with participants from companies like Covidien, Boston Scientific, C.R. Bard, Philips Healthcare and Harvard Medical School, and compiled their insight into a report that lays out the landscape for surgery in 2030.

A few major insights emerged from the workshop, the first being that frontline care organizations will consolidate and create international “mega hospitals.” A pickup in hospital M&A activity over the last few years shows we’re already headed in that direction. With that, care organizations will shift toward a common model of care and management, and result in a robust set of industry best practices.

Low-risk surgical procedures, and the tools needed to perform them, will increasingly be designed to be carried out in physicians’ offices or drop-in clinics, reserving use of high-cost infrastructure only for the most serious of procedures that require those resources — something we’re already seeing in gynecology and urology. Many patients will then recover at home with the use of monitoring devices.
For medical device makers, this means the move toward vertical integration, or “ownership of a disease.” They’ll also need to learn how to serve customers and not just treat patients as two-tier health systems develop, the report proposes.

PCORI approves 25 awards, totaling $40.7 million over three years, to fund patient-centered CER


PCORI logo
 
December 18, 2012
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) has approved its first primary research projects. PCORI today announced the approval of 25 awards, totaling $40.7 million over three years, to fund patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research projects under the first four areas of its National Priorities for Research and Research Agenda.
All proposals were approved by PCORI's Board of Governors pending a business and programmatic review by PCORI staff and completion of a formal award contract.
 
The approved research projects, based at institutions in 17 states, resulted from PCORI's first cycle of primary research funding announcements issued May 22. PCORI received nearly 500 applications. The approved projects were selected through a competitive, multi-stage review process that incorporated patients, caregivers and other stakeholders in the evaluation of proposals. Applications were evaluated on scientific merit, engagement of patients and other stakeholders, methodological rigor and fit within PCORI's research priorities and research agenda.
 
The projects approved for funding include those that will study ways to improve care for people with such health problems as bacterial and viral infections, cardiovascular disease and stroke, certain cancers, chronic kidney disease, chronic pain, depression and other serious mental illness, and pediatric diabetes, as well cross-cutting proposals investigating how to improve care for people with multiple conditions. Other projects seek ways to improve patient-clinician communication, reduce selected health disparities, and improve the way healthcare systems operate.
 
Information on all of today's awards, including the project name, primary investigator, and research institution, is provided on the PCORI website, www.pcori.org.

IRS Finalizes ACA's Medical Device Tax Rule.



Reuters (12/6, Temple-West) reports that the Internal Revenue Service on Wednesday released a final rule (pdf) on medical-device taxes, under which manufacturers will have to pay a 2.3 percent tax on their gross sales, starting in January, unless industry groups succeed with their calls, urging Congress to repeal it. The tax is projected to generate $29 billion to help fund the Affordable Care Act through 2022. Reuters quotes IRS spokesperson Sabrina Siddiqui as saying, "The excise tax is on the medical device manufacturers and importers (who) will now have access to 30 million new customers due to the healthcare law."

        CQ (12/6, Adams, Subscription Publication) notes that although the "58-page final rule" explains "which types of manufacturers will face the excise tax and filing requirements," the bulk of the document is "devoted to responding to comments from manufacturers and others about which products are subject to the tax and under what conditions." Unless Congress acts to change it, the rule mandates that medical-device manufacturers must "start sending in semimonthly tax payments starting Jan. 29." CQ adds that the release of the rule sparked renewed outcries from industry groups. For example, Advanced Medical Technology Association CEO Stephen Ubl issued a statement saying, "While Washington talks about a fiscal cliff, this tax could push us off an innovation cliff, costing as many as 43,000 jobs and hurting the ability of medical technology companies to find tomorrow's treatments and cures." The rule "should be repealed," Ubl added.

        Modern Healthcare (12/6, Lee, Subscription Publication) adds that the Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance "urged lawmakers to pass legislation that would delay implementation of the excise tax." Its Executive Director Gail Rodriguez issued a statement saying, "MITA strongly urges Congress to enact legislation immediately to delay implementation of the medical device tax." She stressed that, "ultimately, Congress should repeal this job-killing tax."

IOM estimates suggest that as much as 750 billion dollars is spent every year within the US health system without contributing to better health

Global Health blog: Health Technology Assessment in the Americas

By Amanda Glassman - This is a joint post with Kate McQueston.
“Every country, no matter how wealthy or how impoverished, cannot afford to waste money in healthcare on health technology that does not contribute to health.”

These words were spoken by Harvey V. Fineberg, the President of the Institute of Medicine, at a recent event co-hosted by CGD and PAHO, which highlighted the importance of supporting health technology assessment (HTA) in the Americas. Low-and middle-income countries are increasingly interested in building capacity for priority setting, particularly in regards to public funding in a time where pressures to incorporate costly new technologies are on the rise and donor contributions are stagnating. Over the past five years Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Croatia, Estonia, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, and Uruguay have also added health technology assessment agencies—tasked with varying responsibilities, including the generation or coordination of health technology assessment and budget impact analysis, as well as the creation recommendations for coverage or reimbursement decisions related to public spending.

Of his main key points, Dr. Fineberg pointed out that recent IOM estimates suggest that as much as 750 billion dollars is spent every year within the US health system without contributing to better health...

Columnist Discusses Impact Of Election On FDA.


In Pharmalot (11/6), columnist Ed Silverman discusses how the outcome of the upcoming election will impact the FDA. Steve Grossman of the Alliance For A Stronger FDA non-profit, says that the FDA is not part of the election campaign dialogue. Grossman says this is a good thing, since "any intelligent discussion requires a long-term perspective and a mastery of detail and nuance, both of which are in short supply during sound bite-oriented politicking." However, he notes that the FDA will ultimately be affected by the election. Silverman asserts that the notion that the FDA "would largely continue on its current path with an Obama re-election is not hard to imagine. ... With Romney in the White House, however, the agency is likely to look and feel quite differently – and have a commish who is willing to 'swing the pendulum' away from an emphasis on safety and take any number of steps to speed approvals, regardless of budget cuts."
