PIPC Offers Feedback on IVI Draft Model on Major Depressive Disorder

2/7/2022

 
Picture
In a letter to the Innovation and Value Initiative (IVI), the Partnership to Improve Patient Care (PIPC) submitted comments on IVI's draft model protocol on major depressive disorder (MDD). The letter notes that, as designed, the model is unlikely to be able to address the issue of treatment heterogeneity, suggesting that IVI broaden the question of how to estimate the accrual of "marginal value" from new therapies. PIPC also strongly encouraged IVI to cease using of the quality-adjusted-life-years metric (QALY) in its models.

The letter also stresses that PCORI should work with experts that do not view the discriminatory quality-adjusted-life-years (QALY) metric as the "gold standard" for value assessment in health care.
