‘Pull’ incentives: How should we value and contract for new antibiotics?
Summary
The importance of “pull” incentives to ensure that new antibiotics are available to help fight anti-microbial resistance (AMR): how should we value and contract for new antibiotics?
Antibiotic resistance is increasingly rapidly and new antibiotics are urgently needed. Health Technology Assessment (HTA) and payer bodies need to be ready to respond appropriately to new antibiotics coming to market. This session will explore how the full range of benefits of antibiotics can be captured in HTA, and how we should pay for them when their value may depend on restricting use.
