                            Real-World Evidence, HEOR, Precision Medicine, and MoreThe practice of health care consulting continues to evolve at a rapid pace. The use of real-world evidence (RWE) to complement clinical trial results is expanding, requiring new applications of data science methods and new approaches to determining value. Similarly, breakthroughs in precision medicine call for different ways of predicting long-term value and tailoring payment strategies for innovative therapies. Along with other topics, this issue of Health Care Bulletin covers some of the ways in which groundbreaking tools are transforming a familiar landscape.
