Policy Projects

Common goals

Lysiac and Lysiac Institute work on a wide range of policy projects. These projects are guided by a shared objective, sometimes requiring creative solutions to achieve it. Examples include:

  • Policy analyses: For more than 10 years we have been “ACP watchers,” producing broadly appreciated analyses of ACP-committee meetings addressing the societal appraisal of medicines and other care.
  • Publications and conference posters: Publications and regular attendance at scientific conferences such as ISPOR, HTAi and EPA provide opportunities to share our ideas and policy projects.
  • Policy concepts: we also develop new policy concepts that may inspire policymakers addressing bottlenecks in practice.

DO-BO

AI-supported reimbursement dossier writing with Dutch DO-BO

Dutch DO-BO provides a structured and reliable kick-start for pharmacotherapeutic (FT) dossier writing, aligned with the template of Zorginstituut Nederland (ZIN). It supports the development of reimbursement dossiers by efficiently structuring relevant information, allowing teams more room for strategy and refinement.

The core

  • Based exclusively on self-selected sources, including confidential information
  • Places relevant information in the appropriate location within the ZIN template
  • Includes clear and transparent referencing
  • Available in the desired language

This results in a kick-start PT dossier: a solid starting point that reduces drafting time and effort.

Data security and confidentiality

  • All data are processed and stored securely
  • Information from dossiers is not used to train the model
  • DO-BO operates safely, isolated, and on a project-by-project basis

DO-BO has been developed in collaboration with MArS and is available for various types of clinical dossiers.
