Joint Healthcare Industry Paper ‘The value of industry involvement in HTA’
Brussels, 8 December 2011
The Healthcare Industry is pleased to present today in the setting of the EUnetHTA Joint Action Conference in Gdansk, a jointly developed position paper on ‘The value of industry involvement in HTA’. The paper outlines the industry contribution to the HTA process, both in terms of inputting into the policy setting and methodology development, as well as the industry contribution in terms of specific assessments. The significant industry experience with HTA systems over time and across countries, and their invaluable knowledge of the products developed and the data produced, is a great contribution that any HTA system should build on.
A robust framework allowing for transparency and public involvement will ensure that the HTA process acts as a tool to allocate resources efficiently and therefore free up resources for continued innovation, in turn improving patients’ access and outcomes, and overall system efficiency.
The Healthcare Industry looks forward to continue working with the EUnetHTA Joint Action to ensure that the European collaboration on HTA is a success. This includes making sure that industry is fully involved in the policy discussions within that Forum as well as in the future pilots that will be taken on going forward.
