The Philippine HTA Guidance Document for the Use of Real-World Evidence (RWE) provides methodological standards for incorporating RWE into the clinical evaluation of health technologies. Designed to complement the overarching HTA Methods Guide, this document supports ongoing efforts to refine HTA methods and processes in the country, ensuring a robust and systematic approach. By offering clear guidance, it aims to assist researchers and practitioners in utilizing RWE effectively for evidence-based decision-making. Ultimately, this initiative underscores the commitment to enhancing healthcare delivery under the Universal Health Care (UHC) Act.

This guidance document was co-developed with the University of the Philippines National Institutes of Health – Institute of Clinical Epidemiology.
