Providing real-world evidence

While a large proportion of our work is about finding the right solutions for our health and social care stakeholders and their needs , we also work hard to evidence the benefits and impacts of a new service or product through real world evaluations ( RWE ).
Most real-world evaluations will have a significant health economic component , and we seek to understand the cost impact of an intervention once they go live with a new customer . The innovations we test usually have regulatory and information governance compliance in place and will have undergone substantial clinical testing in a controlled environment . But we are often keen to ensure that , once deployed in uncontrolled settings , they deliver the benefits originally predicted .
50 Transforming Lives Through Innovation
In this last reporting year , we have initiated seven RWEs . Four were implemented within the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership and three in Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership . Future work will encourage stakeholders in South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw ICS to participate in pilot projects , to achieve a balanced spread across all three of our regional systems .
