Evidencias is a company specialized in applying Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) tools to solve healthcare problems. Developing projects on strictly scientific basis, our goal is to provide the clients with information that lead to effective and sustainable healthcare. Our clients vary from health insurance companies, to governmentalnd non-governmental organizations, medical specialty societies, pharmaceutical companies and healthcare providers.
A custom made consultancy allows us to find scientific solutions that supports the decision making process on health technologies and market share. Our principals are based on impartiality and transparency, two of the pillars that support our greatest asset: credibility. The diversity of our portfolio of clients reflects the reputation of a decade of expertise, many scientific publications and the excellence of our team.
One of the most regulated players on the market, the pharmaceutical companies are under pressure by the constant investments on research and development and also by the risks inherent to the business.
In order to minimize these risks, Evidencias offers market intelligence. Using EBM tools we provide scientific reports of new products and evaluation of established ones to revise their marketing repositioning. Methodological consulting and scientific writing are also part of our portfolio of services.
We perform systematic reviews with meta-analysis which generates scientific knowledge of the highest level and can be applied to the development of clinical guidelines and also as part of the training process for professionals that wish to learn how to practice EBM.
Market Intelligence
Using real world data we can analyze your product and the best way to place it in specific market settings. We develop health technology evaluations for new drugs, materials or procedures and also evaluate the evidence for new indications of already established products.
Scientific Writing
We apply EMB tools and concepts to develop scientific materials for poster, podium presentations, publications, dossiers or serialized themes for products and services. Methodological and scientific support is also available for a varied set of audiences and professionals.
Scientific Research
We specialize in developing systematic reviews and meta-analysis on a broad array of themes. These reviews may be used in designing clinical guidelines.
EBM consulting
Our courses and training sessions provide the audience with concepts of EBM and how they can be best applied on daily routine.
Pharmacoeconomic Studies
We develop economic studies on drugs, materials and procedures in order to optimize the budget and reduce the waste of valuable resources.
Clinical practices without adequate scientific basis are still common place even in this EBM era. However, responsibility increases in the same proportion as population oriented decisions are made. It is then indispensable to reinforce practices that are based on the best available evidence in order to optimize the use of resources without risk of damage to treatment results.
Evidencias offers consultancy to governmental and non-governmental organizations through scientific reports, economic analysis and clinical guidelines that support the development of public health policies. The health technology evaluations developed by Evidencias can be used as technical guidance in law suits and legal contends.
Health Technology Assessment (HTA)
A rigorously scientific evaluation on the effectiveness of drugs, materials and medical procedures generating the technical-scientific guideline for immediate use of administrative and auditing personnel. These documents are constantly being updated and are available through:
Each day more resources are available to medical treatments through scientific and technological developments. Those, however, come with an exponential increase in costs and in the risks of inadequate or even unnecessary procedures.
Evidencias elaborates technical and scientific reports to guide the standardization of materials, medicaments and procedures and applies algorithms to computer systems to reduce the waste of resources on the course of treatments. Auditing processes on high cost procedures, chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments are offered through the internet, hindering the use of treatments considered experimental or without adequate scientific support. The result is up to 25% reduction* in expenses, with high return over investment.
* varies according to the field of application
Auditing for pre-approval of high cost materials and medicaments
We act as consultants on the pre-approval requisitions for high cost drugs, materials and procedures. Using criteria that are based on the best evidence, the approval of drugs/procedures that are still considered experimental or lacking in evidence is denied, avoiding wasted and the continuance of harmful or unnecessary practices
Billing review
Specially in chemotherapy, the proper use of drug vials and dose adjustments can optimize the costs and reduce waste.
Health Technology Assessment (HTA)
A rigorously scientific evaluation on the effectiveness of drugs, materials and medical procedures generating the technical-scientific guideline for immediate use of administrative and auditing personnel. These documents are constantly being updated and are available through:
Clinical Guidelines
We develop algorithms to establish a homogenous flow of standard medical procedures, avoiding waste of resources and time, according with the best available evidence.
Algorithm Development
We develop algorithms to support the authorization of drugs, materials and procedures on computerized systems in order to speed the process and avoid misuse of resources.
Pharmacoeconomic Studies
We develop economic studies on drugs, materials and procedures in order to optimize the budget and reduce the waste of valuable resources.
The inadequate use of drugs, materials and procedures result in waste of resources, low effectiveness and worsening in the quality of care. The application of EBM concepts allows the medical teams to employ the best clinical practices on a daily basis.
Evidencias develops health technology evaluations, guidelines, scientific reports and customized training on EBM to healthcare providers and medical specialty societies.
