Abstract
Pharmaceutical industry-led access programmes are
increasing in number and scope worldwide. We present
a new standardised framework for evaluation of these
programmes that includes three components: a taxonomy
of 11 access programme strategies; a series of logic
models, one for each strategy and a set of measurement
indicators. The logic models describe pathways of potential
programme impact. Concepts relevant across a broad
range of strategies were prioritised for inclusion in logic
models to ensure consistency and to facilitate synthesis
and learning across programmes. Each concept has at
least one corresponding measurement indicator with
metadata that includes the definition, details on how it
should be measured and recommended data sources.
The framework establishes a shared language for the
collection and reporting of meaningful industry-led access
programme information.
