The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) frequently use RWE in their scoping process

• All ICER reports of pharmaceuticals published between January 2014 and June 2019 were reviewed for the average number of instances and proportion of real-world evidence used in the scoping documents.
• In the ICER scoping documents, the mean number of instances of real-world evidence use was 3.8 per document.

• “There has been growing interest in using real-world evidence for health technology assessment (HTA) in the United States. [ICER] is an independent US-based HTA organization that focuses primarily on pharmaceuticals”
• “[Real-world evidence] was frequently used in the ICER scoping process, particularly to inform selection of outcomes. [Real-world evidence] was used infrequently in ICER CCE assessments, while more often used to inform effectiveness, safety, and treatment patterns in relevant clinical guidelines”
