Walking Down Evidence Street: Where The Market Meets Evidence

July 5, 2017 | Suzanne Belinson of Blue Cross Blue Shield Association is featured on this podcast from Cambridge Health Tech Institute for the Next Generation Diagnostic Summit. Topics include using web-based platform where stakeholders can view evidence, if we need more standardized requirements for payers and regulators, and hopes for the conference. Here is a sample of the discussion that takes place. Podcast

CHI: Would you mind telling us a little bit about the Evidence Street program that you are leading?

Suzanne Belinson: Evidence Street is a web-based platform that was launched out of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association's office of clinical affairs. It focuses on providing a place where the market can meet the evidence, a place where stakeholders in the evidence review process can come and access a standard set of evidence reviews and access a transparent process by which those evidence reviews get updated. The primary vision around that process is that if we can get all of the evidence out into the market, that benefits all stakeholders through transparency and engagement in an efficient process.
