Is there a place for Real World Evidence in HTA, Dr. Karen Facey? (Repost)

This is a repost of a popular MAP, Market Access Podcast, from January 2023. 

A strong evidence package is important as a solid base for health technology assessments and the following price negotiations with health care payers. It is widely agreed, that randomized controlled trials are the gold standard in HTA, but there are also strong advocates of real-world evidence as a complementary way to measure the effectiveness of treatments. 

One of these advocates is Dr. Karen Facey and so Dr. Stefan Walzer brought her on the podcast and asked all the tough questions about real world evidence and the reality with payers around the world. Are there opportunities in such RWE data or is that a dead-end?
