JCA Readiness & PICO Strategy
Preparing for Joint Clinical Assessment starts long before submission.
Understanding likely evidence requirements early can help organisations reduce risk, align evidence planning and support successful value demonstration.
How do you prepare for JCA requirements that have limited precedent?
The European Joint Clinical Assessment is changing how evidence will be assessed across Europe, creating new considerations for evidence planning, synthesis requirements and value demonstration.
Organisations must make important decisions before formal scoping begins, often without knowing exactly which PICOs will be requested or how requirements may vary across member states.
Early insight into likely requirements can help teams prioritise evidence generation, address potential gaps and prepare more effectively for future assessments.
Powered by PICOSCAN®
PICOScan® helps organisations anticipate likely JCA evidence requirements before formal scoping begins.
By combining insights from clinical guidelines, HTA analogues, key opinion leaders and HTA stakeholders across Europe, PICOScan® provides early visibility of the evidence requirements that may influence future value demonstration, patient access and JSC planning.
Clinical guidelines
Understand likely evidence requirements through analysis of relevant clinical guidelines.
HTA analogues
Learn from comparable HTA assessments to identify potential evidence and value considerations.
Clinical expert perspectives
Incorporate perspectives from clinicians to understand likely expectations and areas of focus.
HTA stakeholder insight
Explore how HTA stakeholders may evaluate evidence, value and access considerations.
Predicted PICO requirements
Identify potential Population, Intervention, Comparator and Outcome requirements before formal scoping begins.
Navigating uncertainty before JCA scoping begins
Understanding likely PICOs as early as possible helps to drive effective evidence generation and synthesis strategies.
Prioritisation and evidence planning become critical as the value demonstration strategy for an asset matures.
Identify potential evidence gaps, uncertainties and future requirements before they become access challenges.
Inform evidence generation, synthesis and planning activities while there is still an opportunity to act.
Focus time and investment on the evidence activities most likely to support future JCA and market access objectives.
Enabling JCA strategy
We apply our guiding framework, Explore • Build • Optimise, to help organisations anticipate likely PICO requirements, identify evidence risks and make better-informed JCA planning decisions.
Explore
Understand likely PICO expectations across European member states through targeted landscape review and early stakeholder insight
Build
Define evidence generation and synthesis requirements for predicted populations, comparators and outcomes
Optimise
Consolidate cross-market requirements to support value demonstration and alignment on European value and access strategy
