INDEPENDENCE
Independence from the promotional environment.
SCIENTIFIC RIGOUR (QUALITY)
1-In evaluating the technical aspects of efficacy, safety and cost. In determining risk-benefit and cost-effectiveness.
In doing so, we rely on:
-The methods and concepts underpinning Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM).
-Methods and criteria based on health economics studies.
2- In identifying the therapeutic positioning of medicines to:
-define conditions of use of evaluated medicines.
-incorporate medicines into care protocols and Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs)
-incorporate medicines into therapeutic exchange programs.
TRANSPARENCY AND DISCLOSURE
Transparency in decisions and in the evaluation process. Disclosure of the methodology and information drawn up among professionals inside and outside the hospital who are involved in the decision-making process on the use of medicines.
Quality, independence and transparency are the basic principles for credibility and prestige among the professionals involved in the evaluation process.
