■Summary:
There has recently been more and more movement toward the introduction of Health Technology Assessments (HTA) to the health care policy making process in light of increased healthcare costs. In Japan, a trial introduction of cost-effectiveness evaluations within the drug and medical device approval process was started following the FY2016 Revision of Medical Fee.
In order to construct a sustainable health care system that meets global standards, Japan must utilize the limited resources available to it as efficiently and effectively as possible and maximize the value attainable from healthcare services. At the next Breakfast Meeting, Dr. Ataru Igarashi, one of the few HTA professionals in Japan, will join us to explain what HTA is, how it evaluates the value of medicine, and how HTA outcomes can be reflected in policies, with examples from recent HTA use cases.
