Policy Analysis
As healthcare organizations adapt to and seek to guide changes in health policies, they engage Avalere to assess likely impacts of impending changes and to advise on strategy to shape those changes to address business challenges.Overview
The Need for Analysis
To prepare for, respond to, and shape changing health policies, healthcare organizations need detailed knowledge of those policies. They need to know whether and how a policy could affect their business, requiring them to understand that policy’s aims, contents, consequences, and interconnections with other policies. They also need to identify and assess opportunities to shape that policy, or to channel its effects, and to seize those opportunities effectively.
Shaping and Adapting to Health Policies
Our policy experts use quantitative and qualitative techniques to analyze health policies and assess their likely impacts for clients. We help a broad range of healthcare organizations shape, understand, prepare for, and respond to policy impacts that affect them. Some clients need to understand the core meaning and implications of a given policy, while some want to use that understanding to develop and advocate for an alternative policy position. Other clients want to conduct quantitative analyses such as financial modeling and Congressional Budget Office-style scoring to project a policy’s impact on product sales, plan payments, or other financial targets.
Informed by Experience, Backed by Data
We don’t just study the healthcare industry; we’ve lived it. Our backgrounds span the breadth of our customer base, bringing diverse policy perspectives. We have worked in every area of the industry, including Congress, federal agencies, state governments, health plans, drug companies, advocacy and patient groups, nonprofit organizations, and pharmacies. Some of us have even helped to design the policies that are most relevant to our clients.
Expert insights and strategies are enhanced when informed by high-quality data. Our policy consultants collaborate with our team of analysts—who are rooted firmly in the policy space—to supplement their qualitative policy analyses with rich data analytics. Our distinctive ability to leverage data enables us to strengthen advocacy strategies, policy positions, and impact assessments, helping our clients to define and advance their goals.
