HTA & Medical Devices: An International Perspective Christina Farup, MD, MS | April 2015

Definition of HTA Health Technology Assessment... is a multidisciplinary process that summarises information about the medical, social, economic and ethical issues related to the use of a health technology in a systematic, transparent, unbiased, robust manner. Its aim is to inform the formulation of safe, effective, health policies that are patient focused and seek to achieve best value EUnetHTA: Key Considerations -What is the purpose of the HTA? How are devices reimbursed? -Are all devices alike and should be they treated as all the same or like drugs? -Who can best evaluate and translate the value of a device in the healthcare system and delivery of care? -When and how should evidence evolve for devices?

Some “Take-away” thoughts The future potential to improve best practice Aspects of device value are varied – HTA assessment of value – Hospital assessment of value – Limitations to both New solutions for evidence development -affordable, practical, flexible when appropriate More debate on when, who, why for HTA=“fit for purpose” -more dialogue with key stakeholders: Surgeons, Providers, Industry, Patients
