High-quality literature reviews are foundational to the development and launch of a medicine, and when done well, support key decision-making and communications with external stakeholders.
At Bridge, since 2011, we have built broad capabilities to tackle the whole range of methods and research questions for literature studies, adhering to the highest global standards.
Our literature reviews go well beyond data reporting – we also focus on delivering critical insights, which allow results to be translated into decisions (also explore our enhanced services at the bottom of this page).
Increasingly, we have been using trained AI models to enhance the coverage and efficiency of our reviews.
Whatever methodology is employed, a literature study should provide a balanced view of the evidence base for a given set of research questions, and should ideally include an appraisal of the quality of the evidence base. To this end, we assign each underlying publication an appropriate weight based on its methodological robustness, and we interpret the overall evidence with this in mind.
Our approach gives you, our clients, robust, reproducible and defendable positions that inform your discussions and negotiations with key external stakeholders.
Our enhanced services include a range of innovative optional deliverables that can accompany the foundational literature study. For example, we may apply statistical synthesis methods to bring both precision and explanation to epidemiological data, or develop an early economic model to illuminate both the potential value proposition of an intervention, as well as the gaps in the data. Gaining additional value from your data through our enhanced services can promote wider internal and external engagement and enable better decision-making.
