Bringing a new drug to patients is a complex process that involves not only scientific research and development but also navigating regulatory hurdles, Access and reimbursement decisions as well as Pricing negotiations. In today's healthcare landscape, decision-makers are increasingly focused on demonstrating the value of new treatments, and AbbVie recognizes the importance of providing robust evidence to support its products.

With this new function a new way of working will be introduced with modelling evidence teams led by the Value Analytics Center bringing together cross functional partners in global, us and international functions and business units to co-create robust modeling evidence for internal and external stakeholders.

The Value Analytics Center will play a critical role in informing internal Access strategies, pricing, and reimbursement decisions, as well as HTA and value assessment submissions. By providing robust evidence to support these decisions, AbbVie will be well-positioned to secure positive recommendations and listings, negotiate with payers and secure/maintain access to its treatments for patients. In addition, the Value Analytics Center team will help AbbVie stay industry leading by developing in-house expertise and creativity to demonstrate the value of its products to Access stakeholders and the overall Health care system ensuring patient access to AbbVie’s innovative medicines. Overall, the Value Analytics Center capability is essential to AbbVie's long-term success in the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
