The premise
Adding a new biologic to formulary requires a 10-page memo: efficacy, safety, cost, place in therapy. AI can draft this in an afternoon from the trial papers and the current formulary — leaving you to verify and present.
What AI does well here
- Synthesize multiple RCTs into a structured efficacy/safety table.
- Draft the place-in-therapy paragraph against existing formulary options.
- Generate the cost-per-responder calculation if you supply the inputs.
- Pre-empt the questions committee members reliably ask.
What AI cannot do
- Verify drug prices in your specific 340B/wholesaler context.
- Know your committee's voting history on similar agents.
- Catch journal-level conflicts of interest the trial doesn't disclose.
