Differential value

Our differential value is the deep knowledge of the healthcare sector based on the direct experience of each and every one of us at WHM, which allows us to understand and build trust in the relationship with managers, healthcare professionals and patients.

  • Systematic review and RWE
  • Advisory boards

Economic evaluation

The economic evaluation analysis of drugs allows us to relate the cost of the drug with respect to efficacy, compared to other available alternatives, and the quality of life it provides to patients, being able to quantify which of the existing therapeutic alternatives is the most efficient and, therefore, which will produce better clinical results in healthcare practice, with a lower consumption of healthcare resources.

WHM offers both the adaptation and the development of models of:

  • Cost-effectiveness / cost-utility analysis.
  • Cost minimization
  • MDCA
  • Value-based modeling

Price and reimbursement

In order to include a drug in the National Health System (SNS) health centers, it is necessary that, firstly, it has been authorized for its commercialization and, secondly, that it is included in the SNS pharmaceutical benefit, to be financed by public funds after the price and financing process.

At WHM we offer support and advice during the negotiation process and the preparation of:

  • Dossier of fundamental values and support material.
  • Management Entry Agreements (MEAs): innovative payment and financing agreements.
  • Key messages
  • Budget impact analysis
  • Negotiation simulations
  • Local formulations

In the field of Institutional Relations, we propose transversal projects with the aim that the pharmaceutical company is perceived as a partner of the public health system. We approach our collaboration by facilitating the processes of change and collaborating in the dynamization of the health system.

Through Institutional Relations Projects in which multidisciplinary groups of experts participate, we contribute to increase the efficiency of the system and to improve the quality of care, turning the project into an essential vector of communication between the different agents of the system.

  • Our scope of action in transversal projects of institutional relations can be national, regional or local.
  • We explore new fields of action based on the needs expressed by the agents, designing projects that add value to the system.
  • In some of these projects we include the training of healthcare professionals in specific areas.
  • We work with multidisciplinary groups of professionals, both hospital and primary care, including patients and decision-makers so that, by consensus, they can make proposals for improvement that can be put into practice.
  • As a final part of the work, we believe that dissemination of the project results is essential to maximize the impact on the healthcare system as a whole. This dissemination broadens the vision of the project partner beyond the working group.
