How QURE Measures Clinical Utility

As in real life, providers progress through an entire medical interaction with a virtual patient, receiving vitals, recording a patient’s medical history, conducting a diagnostic workup, making diagnoses, and ultimately, arriving at a recommended treatment plan. Virtual patients are designed in collaboration with our internal physician team and the client, based on the latest evidence-based practice guidelines.

QURE incorporates the use of educational and detailing materials (i.e., fact sheets, slide decks, short videos) as the “intervention” in the RCT, just as a provider would receive in a real-world setting. Materials provide information on the availability and potential benefits of a new technology, as well as actual clinical specifications.

After collecting provider care decisions from the virtual patient interactions and analyzing them for their impact on treatment options, implementation feasibility, and cost-effectiveness, a subsample of providers (in keeping with the RCT design) are provided access to the client’s test or technology to use with real-world patients. Medical charts are then abstracted and analyzed to confirm that provider decision-making data resulted in real-world patient health outcomes and commensurate budget impacts.

All QURE studies result in two manuscripts for peer-reviewed publication.

• The first details the current state of clinical practice and any unmet needs in the given clinical area; it also quantifies the impact of the new technology
• The second evaluates the real-world patient health outcomes of using the technology and models budget impact for the payer
