Move to Stage B

Check your work

As a reminder, before you move to Stage B (Evidence Strategy and Planning), your team should be able to answer the following questions:

Regulatory strategy

  • What are the target markets and regulatory jurisdictions for this product or service?
  • How can we build a regulatory strategy that aligns with classification, pathway, and evidence requirements?

Reimbursement pathways

  • What does the purchasers’ landscape look like and what are the applicable reimbursement pathways ?
  • Which stakeholders to engage with and when to explore potential reimbursement opportunities?

Business priorities

  • What are the current market trends, policy influencers, and business drivers relevant to this effort?

If your results are not confirming your strategy, you may need to go back to Stage A to refine your value proposition and assess market needs.

Once you’re ready, move to Stage B
